PETA Slams Barack Obama For Killing A Fly
President Barack Obama reflected on what fatherhood means to him and wrote down his thoughts. Read his original piece at Parade.com.
On Tuesday, a fly intruded during Obama’s interview with CNBC correspondent John Harwood at the White House. Obama swatted the fly and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is not happy, so they sent him 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.”

@ms lola:
What is wrong with you?
Talking trash about two little girls just because you’re angry their dad is President and calling David Letterman’s son a bast**d is DISGUSTING. Do you think its okay to call Sarah Palin’s grandson a bast**d becuase he too was born out of wedlock??? You’re pathetic and sick.
Why peta dind’t slam bush for killing iraquis?
PETA…this is overkill! That was hilarious!
For Fu*k’s sake it’s a bloody fly. Like they show compassion for humans?
PETA IS TO ***** TO THROW PAINT ON FUR WEARERS LIKE JAY-Z, SNOOP, KANYE, OR LIL WAYNE, BUT LOVE TARGETING WOMEN LIKE J LO, LOHAN, AND OTHERS….WHY ARE THEY AFFRAID TO GO AFTER MEN???
PETA TARGETS WOMEN AND NOT MEN.
PETA = PUSS SAY!!!
PETA can go f*** itself. Since when did it defend INSECTS?
peta needs to get over themselves!
I killed spider today hmmmmmm oh well I need some beer I guess :P
Well PETA, he did it quick and painless, thats better than the porks waiting on dead row. Get over yourself and worry about real important stuff..
I love Obama!
PETA there is so much good work you do, but you constantly prove that you are unkind and intolerant of your own species. Such a shame - because your baseline pettiness frequently upstages your substance.
The people who run this scatter-brained organization are all crazy lunatics. Flys that eat do-do and dead carcasses are dirty creatures. If animals could talk they would tell PETA to shut the hell up because you don’t speak for us! This is exactly why people do not take PETA seriously, how could you?? Dumb ********!
OMFG, I’m a supporter of PETA, but really?? Really!!!??? Oh goodness, really!?
PETA are a bunch of morons!
peta can suck it, and suck it hard because flies are one of the few “animals” that multiply like fricken rabbits. SO AGAIN SUCK IT HARD PETA!
Jeezus nerds! Stop overreacting to Peta. Obviously they’re going to say something. So what! Agree or disagree but don’t be an idiot like the first commenter who’s frothing. *roll eyes* Try hating something more deserving dork.
Anyway I’m all about animals, but I kill flys all the time. I kill ants too. Yes I feel a twinge of guilt extinguishing a life just like that, but there are so many others to take their place. I can’t tolerate those pests. I won’t, however, kill a spider or bee. Spiders are very sweet if you leave them alone and bees are handsome things - especially honeybees!
How does large-scale product promotion equal “slams Obama”? This was obviously an opportunity for them to present a friendly alternative to a big audience.
For the record, I don’t purposely kill any insects but realize that it’s going to happen. I admit to cringing as I drive down the highway on a warm evening. *splatsplatsplat*

We have a catch-and-release policy for bugs at my house, but what people do in their own homes is their business.
a reaking fly!!!! r u serious jesus
bwahahahahahahaha! How much did it cost to mail that letter to the Prez? PETA could have used that money to I dunno…buy water for a fly or somethin’. I have heard it all. And they wonder why people are turned off? These are the same folks who harassed elementary school kids and showed them pics of dead chickens to scare them from eating chicken. insanity!
Question: a poisonous snake about to bite a PEAT member’s kid - do they a) kill the snake or b) let them have their animal rights? PETA member is in impoverished country and a West Nile Virus moskitoe is about to bite their baby, do they not kill that mosquitoe or let it bite baby? PETA’s hypocrisy is thick. Human instinct is to kill that snake. Period.
I am not kidding at all but when I first saw this video, I actually had a strange feeling that PETA would say something. I am not kidding. I just thought wouldn’t it be funny if they did and wouldn’t you know, they did! NUTS!. A fly, a fly? LMFAO
I wish someone would swat PETA.
What a bunch of useless drivel.
I’m getting a t-shirt printed today: “I MURDER FLIES”
Ha! Nice to see your disgusting and perverted comment about young children was taken down “ms. lola”.
Your probably some nasty middle aged old man.
Hey PETA
STFU
That’s the President of the U.S. A.
Go hug a tree and let the ticks on it, crawl into your head.
I agree Fur is wrong but to judge and criticize Barack Obama is out of line.
Does this man have to watch every word he says and every move he makes? omfg.
