PETA....GO F..U..SELF....Obamas Fly Swat

[rsmith6621]

IMO....PETA is no better an extreme cause than humans who kill abortion DOCTORS.....

****************************************************************************************

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.

PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.

"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."

During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.

1. "We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals"

Good for PETA. :thumbsup:

[leftofcool]

2. Good Lord! That is worse than fishing hurts.com

[Bucky]

21. Oh God, that's hilarious!

I'd never heard of this organization before, so I googled them. And I found this

:rofl: Yes, I would eat a sea kitten souffle!

[IDemo]

74. I saw a bumper sticker last week that said "Fishing is not a hate crime"

[ejpoeta]

3. well, i am sure most will be able to relate to the president's dilemma.

I kill, or at least attempt to kill, a lot of flies every day. I HATE flies. PETA can go to hell. flies aren't animals... they are insects. and unless they've seen maggots, they can't even understand. Am I supposed to not kill mosquitoes either??? because I have killed lots of those too.

[mrs_p]

13. i'm all for killing domestic house flies buzzing around me

but there is no denying they ARE animals - in the kingdom animalia, phylum arthropoda, class insecta, order diptera

[hobbit709]

4. I wonder how PETA feels about Aedes and Anopheles mosquitos?

Do they want to "humanely" catch and release them too/

[mrs_p]

14. what idiots

i wish them a good infectious bite

[RebelOne]

5. I do support a lot of the work PETA does for the animals,

but this is over the top. I kill any and all bugs that cross my path or infest my house.

[fishnfla]

6. This is a joke right? nt

[marmar]

7. From the Onion or Andy Borowitz, right?

n/t

[reflection]

8. (insert no-fly-zone joke here)

:eyes:

[Doremus]

9. Except for the dogs they take from shelters, kill and dump?

Flies are people too. :crazy:

[Ignis]

50. Do you believe everything written by the CCF?

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=PetaKillsAnimals.com

Richard Berman is laughing all the way to the bank. :hi:

[Critters2]

60. Geez, you're gullible. That bs has been refuted time and again. nt

[The_Commonist]

10. I'm kinda with them on this one.

I don't kill bugs if I don't have to.
I kinda like most bugs, in fact.
I would never kill a spider.
I certainly kill mosquitoes that are trying to bite me, and I would have done what Obama did to that particular fly, but in general, I leave bugs alone if they leave me alone.

[mrs_p]

16. i've studied a bit of entomology

and i tend to leave them alone too. but there are some bugs i would get rid of in a heartbeat. tabanids (horse and deer flies) are the most evil creatures to fly the earth.

[DaveinJapan]

18. How so? n/t

[mrs_p]

20. they bite by slicing your skin and flesh

with their mouthparts and then lap up the blood. hurts like the devil, and they won't ever give up. if you camp, backpack, ride horses, fish, anything outdoors in the rocky mountains, you know the only way to rid yourself of these buggers is a deathly blow...

[AllieB]

24. And a lot of people have allergic reactions to their venom.

My mother swells from a greehhead bite. People who want to protect that species haven't been to the beaches on the North Shore of Boston.

[jimshoes]

17. I'm with you on the spiders

They mostly do more good than harm. Flies & skeeters are a different matter.

[JerseygirlCT]

32. I hate bugs

I know they're necessary in the larger scheme of things, but if I never happened on another, that would be just fine by me. Yuck.

[Vinca]

11. I hope PETA doesn't get wind of the cucumber beetles in my garden.

Or, more aptly, the FORMER cucumber beetles in my garden.:rofl:

[spiritual_gunfighter]

12. You think PETA is no better than abortion doctor killers?

Hilarious and pathetic.

[dorkulon]

48. I agree, that's plain ridiculous.

Who has PETA killed? I agree this is stupid, but lighten up, really.

[Ignis]

51. It's amazing, isn't it?

Despite working for the ethical treatment of all animals, PETA actually calls for the premeditated murder of human beings in churches.

Or...at least that's what I presume the OP is trying to say. It's a bit difficult to wade through without my larger boots.

:shrug:

[Critters2]

61. Yeah, I missed those e-mails.

I belong to PETA, and I work for a church. Quite the dilemma. :eyes:

[Ignis]

62. You're also "unhinged." Who knew?

Unless, of course, you're a celebrity. :rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

15. Next they'll protest physicians for killing off the H1N1 virus

Just wait for it.

[MilesColtrane]

65. Save the Virion Kittens!

[Mari333]

19. I like PETA in some cases but , well, WTF

Im a vegan, I support animal rights, but a fly? Im sorry. I save spiders, and if I 'can' save a fly I will, but for christs sake a fly???? or a mosquito...geezus!! even other animals swat them down...whats next, calling 'maggots' wormkittens? PETA is going to frak themselves out of all legitimacy if they keep this up. In other words, choose your battles well PETA.

[G_j]

23. it's almost as if they are deliberately

trying to marginalize the cause.
I support animals rights, this doesn't help.

[Yukari Yakumo]

40. You're waaaaaaaaay too late on that one.

"PETA is going to frak themselves out of all legitimacy if they keep this up."

PETA lost all of its credibility over a decade ago at the very least. No one but the unhinged or celebrities desperate for publicity supports to them anymore.

[Ignis]

54. Well, that's an interesting slur.

So, to logically continue your argument, anyone who supports PETA's causes (and is not a celebrity) is mentally "unhinged."

May I ask where you obtained your degree in Internet Psychoanalysis?

[Evoman]

22. Well...at least they are consistent. Life is life.

Even if it is a gross, shit-loving fly.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

25. I'd like to think I'm a pretty insect-friendly dude............

so I have limited my bug killing to the following:

Flies
Mosquitoes
Ants
Fleas

most else I will catch and release. Hell, I've been known to fish a spider out of the toilet water so it doesn't drown and then I chuck it outside.

[Creena]

53. Ticks.

I must add ticks to your list. All are a nuisance to me, my dog, and any foster dog (who is usually already flea and tick infested) currently under my care.

[fishwax]

26. PETA is no better than murdering anti-choicers?

That's even crazier than that press release :crazy:

[Ignis]

57. Yesssssss, the mothership orders us to kill doctors!

We're not allowed to kill animals for food, but we stalk doctors and kill them in churches! It's the PETA way!

:crazy: indeed.

[Wizard777]

27. Obama should mail them a million mayflies. They will Swat and use poisons to get rid of them.

After the first day they would have about a quarter inch of dead mayflies laying on the floor. Day two they could have about 100 million mayflies buzzing around. At the end of day two they would have about 2 1/2 inches of dead may flies laying on the floor. Rise and repeat.

[Cresent City Kid]

28. Compassion for the gazelle dooms the lion and vice versa

I'm all for treating animals ethically, but I try to be realistic about it. Insects breed and die in large numbers. Birds eat them and people squash them. That's life, they'll make more to replace the ones lost. I'd rather not have Obama distracted when he's speaking on something important. In an indirect way it was self defense.

[lunatica]

29. I'm a mass fly murderer!

Worse than that, I've been known to go on bloody rampages of flyicide where I rain violent death with a flyswatter!

Oh! The Inhumanity!

[NoodleyAppendage]

30. PETA people evince a higher form of self-loathing. Almost clinical in degree.

The Southpark episode where the remote PETA village is found and human/animals are bred comes to mind. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if those paraphilic types who get off on dressing up as furry animals are overwhelmingly PETA members. There's some aspect of self-loathing inherent to the rabid position that anything not-human is sacred, even when the existence of said non-human entity is a direct threat to human health and well-being.

INSECTS ARE NOT ANIMALS.

[MicaelS]

34. Damn great post!

I wish I had said that!

[Yukari Yakumo]

43. Er...

"INSECTS ARE NOT ANIMALS."

Yes, they are.

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Subphylum: Mandibulata
Class: Insecta

[NoodleyAppendage]

67. Broadly, yes. But, if you asked someone to come up with various "animals" insects are not likely...

...to be mentioned.

J

[proteus_lives]

49. That South Park was great!

P. Diddy versus PETA! :rofl:

[Ignis]

58. So...they're flying minerals?

:shrug:

That's quite a trick.

[JerseygirlCT]

31. Eh, they just show themselves for the dopes they are. Not to be taken seriously, ever. nt

[Kablooie]

33. He should have taken it to the bug shelter so someone could adopt it.

[Stinky The Clown]

35. Jeebus Keerist on a Krutch ..... can these people get any MORE ridiculous?

Fucking moron zealots.

[VenusRising]

36. Don't kill the Air Kittens.

Or something. :eyes:

[MajorChode]

39. I don't care who you are, that's funny right there

[Karmadillo]

37. Well, in terms of priorities, I'd first focus on his killing of Afghan civilians.

nt

[marmar]

41. Someone has to crap on every fun post......

n/t

[Karmadillo]

52. Not crapping at all. Simply helping to put things in perspective.

Asking Obama not to kill a fly results in an explosion of hatred. Killing thousands of innocents in the biparti$an Forever War on Terror gets nary a peep of protest.

[bikebloke]

38. I let spiders live in my flat.

They eat the flies and mozzies that follow me in. That way the flies and mozzies don't eat me.

[Raineyb]

42. This fucking bullshit is why I can't stand PETA. They're beyond ridiculous! n/t

[Contrary1]

44. Maybe PETA can come up with a humane shipping container...

I would be more than happy to send them all my unwanted flys, mosquitoes, and last; but certainly not least, silverfish.

[Seldona]

45. What are they, grazers?

How many critters die in agriculture, not to mention have their habitat taken away, supporting them? Out of sight out of mind I guess.

[Mother Of Four]

46. The flies have been really bad this year -

My two tomcats love to chase, swat and (shudder) eat them.

They also keep waterbugs out of my house.

So uhm....

What does PETA think I should do about my cats?

(The black is Loki and the Grey is Thor)

[proteus_lives]

56. Great names!

If you get another, you should name them Balder or Frigga.

[Mother Of Four]

66. Theres a mom cat that's recently adopted us outside...

She's a calico and is ready to have kittens. Frigga would be a good name for her :)

[rd_kent]

47. PETA is now even more irrelevant then the GOP

[Warren DeMontague]

55. Good. I'm glad they're being consistent.

And reminding everyone that major fucking WHACKJOBS run that organization.

It's the moral equivalent of the Holocaust! A Treblinka for Maggots!!!! :cry:

[scrinmaster]

59. Just a bunch of attention whores.

They got their name out yet again, for the price of a press release and a stupid bug catcher. Sure, 99% of the people who hear about it will think that PETA is full of idiots, but that 1% will send them money.

[aikoaiko]

63. If PETA stuck to busting people who broke the law concerning animal welfare and stopped

...with the cultural change bullshit, they would be much more successful, IMHO.

[HarryTrumanDem]

64. Maybe some vegan hotties

will protest in the nude, wearing some fashionable fly heads.

Help me! help me!



PETA does indeed suck.

[Skip Intro]

68. One Rec - even on this PETA-hatin' board - HA HAHA HA - Epic Fail.

PETA ROCKS!

[cagesoulman]

69. Is PETA a satirical organization?

They seem to be satirizing the anti-choice movement.

[LAGC]

70. PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals

Mmm... the President will have another Cheeseburger, thank you very much.

[IDemo]

75. People Exemplifying Total Asininity

[The Straight Story]

71. Guess they are anti-abortion then as well

:shrug:

[cagesoulman]

73. I think they are satirizing the anti-choice movement. Unwittingly, maybe, but they are.

PETA is a satirical organization.

[flvegan]

72. Thread number three on this.

Two days. Not bad.

[IDemo]

76. I guess in this case the old billboard message wouldn't be appropriate

Every animal has its place - right next to the mashed potatoes.

:puke:

[uppityperson]

77. hahahahahahahahahaha. I wonder if anyone who belongs to PETA uses antibiotics for infections?

If they got pneumonia, or appendicitis, would they use antibiotics?
