PETA Slams Barack Obama For Killing A Fly

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.”

burn dat fly and post the ashes to PETA MOHAHAHAHAHHAHA

How are PETA going to react when the president has to de-flea his dog? Have they a humane and ethical treatment for that? Or worming for that matter! Surely by PETA’s standards that’s unethical too because it kills all those poor little internal parasites! Ridiculous people, ridiculous party.

Go get a life PETA, lol
atencion hore

this is total BS from peta… i mean really, come on, its a fly…

Hail to our Messiah. He has killed a fly. A powerful President, indeed.

This clown should spend more time caring about protecting this country instead of constantly playing for the cameras.
Oh yeah, that’s right. He thinks he’s a celebrity instead of being the president of the united states who abides by the Constitution instead of changing it to fit HIS needs.
Shame on this poor excuse for a man.

Get over it PETA, stop trying to ruin the lives of black men.

Hmmm…..

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

This was written by Abraham Lincoln. Obama, who likes to compare himself to President Lincoln, apparently cannot read.

Common peta, this is a joke right?

Obviously someone needs to go back to school. PETA: People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals, not insects or bugs.

Oh my Gosh, is just a fly… ok, I understand PETA got uppset, but it’s too much slam the presidet. By the way, love the cover. Pic is so cute and the quote either.

seriously? are these guys crazy? I’m 100% for treating animals kindly but this is so over the top. surreal!

PETA can kiss my ass!

oh god …PETA is just too much

Ok, I think after this, no one (if they weren’t already) is going to take them seriously.

oh for god sake, that’s like saying don’t clean up poo.

This comment just makes their organisation sound like a joke. Who could take anything they say seriously after this?

PETA don’t you have something else better to worry about. Come on now a fly that has probably land in your food before and I am sure you have eatten plenty of them. Now go figure. Some times people worry about the stupidest things and that is one you dumb ass…I will not support you in any way and hope you go broke.

Oh please! PETA is ridiculous sometimes. It’s a freaking fly! It’s not like he’s killing an eagle or anything. Jeez!

Let’s put this in to perspective shall we?
I am a huge animal lover from rodents to mammals also a PETA member/supporter.
BUT
A Fly is a disease carrying INSECT an insect that spends it’s days resting on dung and hanging out in dumpsters
I don’t think realistically,you can compare a fly to an animal.
That’s a little bit kooky
He killed a fly..not a puppy.
Let it go PETA.
