Continuing To Show The World That They Are In Fact Idiots PETA Objects To Obama Swatting A Fly
Do these people have any type of life?
PETA - the organization that likes to display semi-nude women in cages (I never did really grasp what they’re trying to do with that one) and wrap people in plastic and kill dogs that are in their care to show us how humane they can be - is upset that Obama had the temerity to squish an innocent little fly during a televised interview:
WASHINGTON – 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.”
Puh.
Leeze.
It’s a fly. He wasn’t exactly skinning a baby seal alive on camera. He swatted a fly. A. Fly. I suppose the good folks at PETA don’t swat flies, or spray roaches, or do the old smash-the-spider-with-a-rolled-up-newspaper thing like the rest of us uncaring, unfeeling, brutes do with a fair amount of regularity. They’re much more civilized than the rest of us, you see. Enlightened. Sensitive.
Sigh.
Tell you what - I’d like for PETA to come down here to South Louisiana right now and take a nice stroll through the country. We have a little beast we call a deer fly - a little yellow critter that likes to land on you and take great big chunks of flesh out of whatever body part they can reach. I can assure you that the enlightened ones at PETA will be some fly swattin’ fools in no time flat once they meet those critters. Their compassion for the those tiny, curious animals would vanish with the first chomp.
Of course, when you inhabit the Disney Planet as the disconnected people at PETA do, there are no such things as pests. They are one with nature.
File this one in the “Let’s show the world that you are in fact an idiot” file.
