PETA condemns Obama for murdering innocent fly

[Tender Branson]

Obama’s ninja-like moves, which resulted in the murder of said fly on Tuesday, has resulted in harsh condemnation of the president by the animal rights group.

Well, maybe not that harsh. They view Obama’s actions as perhaps more of a teachable moment.

“He isn’t the Buddha, he’s a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act,” writes Alisa Mullins on the PETA blog.

To that end, they’re sending him a PETA-branded “Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher”. It allows you to place “the device over the bug and slowly slide its plastic trapdoor shut. The bug will step onto the trapdoor as it closes, and you can carry Katcha Bug outside, where all you need to do is slide the trap door open, allowing the bug to walk away.”

Well, that’s nice. But the use of this instrument would have resulted in a far less dramatic scene. Obama walked away from the interview looking like Chuck Norris. Who knows how high Obama’s approval rating will soar as a result of the tough-on-defense action.

Doesn’t make any difference to PETA. They believe the president needs to show compassion regardless of high polling numbers.

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

Until he shows more compassion, will members of PETA show up in giant fly costumes protesting the president? We’re guessing probably not.

ROFL !

Yeah, I saw this. Frankly I didn't think PETA could get much more ridiculous, but they just might have with this one.

I strongly believe that they are intentionally and consciously ridiculous at times in order to break into the mainstream news cycle.

     That's probably true. Nothing else could adequately explain this story.

Last Sunday we were invited to my brother to have barbecue. It had about 30°C and we were sitting in a shadowy place and I almost killed 10 of these nasty creatures ...

I was really waiting how long it takes if some group attacks him for this when I first saw it ...

I stopped disliking PETA once I realized that I enjoy a good laugh once in awhile.

They do, and that accounts for most of their absurdity.  My main issue with PETA is that they are intellectually dishonest with information (dietary stats, etc.) in trying to gain converts, not that they like the wrong animals.

Attention-getter as this is, they do probably genuinely believe it, which I actually don't really have a problem with.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

What a bunch of idiots.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

This incident just goes to show what a wimp Obama is.  His blow only managed to kill one fly, not seven.

[You kip if you want to...]

It's a bloody fly for god's sake. PETA=...Sad

That seems like the most reasonable explanation for something like this.

Is that a story from the Onion?

When I first saw the title, that is exactly what I thought as well.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

PETA are morons.

You're so lucky.  We have mosquitoes in the billions and then flies... big ones... that bite, and it hurts worse than a bee sting.  And then the welts itch really bad but hurt really bad when you scratch them.  And they love to get between your toes and bite.

You go outside on a muggy evening here during summer and you can hear the mosquitoes in this faint high pitched ethereal hum.. and you wonder until you look up and notice that there are thick clouds of them everywhere.

I'd love to see a PETA activist at a yard party here when we break out the cans of raid and deet.

[Magic 8-Ball]

This reminds me of a few years ago when they called for people to "liberate" their pets.  Always enjoyable, their statements.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Yes, liberate our pets and condemn them to die.  Real nice, PETA.  It's like the environmental activists that burn sh**t down for a living... counter productive, I tell you.

True.  But what do you expect from a bunch of liberal tree huggers?

These are same sort of loosers who beleive in the global warming fantasy.

Wait but I thought Obama was one of them . . .

Global Warming was created by the Illuminati.  Courage, Coburn, courage.

Well, it was the top story on Faux.

I thought this was going to be a lame link until I saw the naked girls in the picture.  Now I realize that PETA's actually pretty cool.

Capital crime... take him away.
