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.

  • Pilgrim

    I’m defending PETA’s practice of euthanizing unwanted strays.

    Of course, doing something like, um, caring for those animals is out of the question for the animal loving folks at PETA, right?

    Too much trouble. Just kill ‘em.

  • ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTodd

    Slaughtering. Euthanizing. Tomayto. Tomahto.

    You are so stupid it hurts my head.

    By PETA’s standards, these animals have as much, or greater, a right to life than lowly humans.

    My God, you’re even dumber.

    Most of these animals they “liberate” would’ve found a home anyway (…) This is the moron group that used to release chickens from their pens into the wild…where they either starved to death or were torn apart by foxes, possums, etc

    You are large, you contain multitudes.

    The pets they euthanize would have found a home anyway. The chickens they liberated would die on their own. Huh.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    My God, you’re even dumber.

    You’re either a moron teenager or just a garden variety moron. Either way, you have no clue what you’re talking about. PETA routinely puts animals above people.

    The pets they euthanize would have found a home anyway. The chickens they liberated would die on their own. Huh.

    I don’t see the confusion here. Even the city pounds, which euthanize animals pretty quickly, have a better success record of finding these animals a home than PETA. Most people who give their animals to PETA buy into that whole “ETHICAL TREATMENT” nonsense, and believe their animals will be given a good home. Most of the animals are well behaved house pets, who’s homeowner either has to move, no longer has the money to take adequate care of, or has become too elderly to adequately take care of. They hear the stories that the Public shelters have ONLY a 70% adoption rate, and don’t want their beloved friend to be in the unfortunate 30% that gets put down. So they call the self proclaimed defenders of animals. And their dog or cat is dead before the van ever pulls out of the driveway.

    Why that is confusing contrasted with the fact that these idiots used to rob farms and release chickens into the wild is beyond me. Maybe you’re just an imbecile.

    I’m defending PETA’s practice of euthanizing unwanted strays.

    PETA doesn’t get strays. PETA gets animals from owners who don’t want their beloved pet put down in the pound. When many of the pet owners find out what happened, they are crushed, and say they’d have rather tried to keep taking care of the animal themselves. PETA also “liberates” animals from farms and puppy mills. The kinds of animals who already had a home, or were likely to get one. And they kill them. What a shitty group.

    Hanging Saddam Hussein and decapitating a 6 year old girl also produce the same result: A dead person. See, this is why you’re so dumb it hurts my head.

    If we found that an orphanage was murdering their charges because it was too expensive to try and adopt them out, we’d be horrified. Yet, this organization murders adoptable animals without so much as an attempt to find them homes and “compassionate” liberal imbeciles like yourself defend that. Go take a long walk off a short pier.

    What is the ethically significant difference between killing a fly and killing a baby seal?

    Baby seals are cute. That’s why you should always club them first, then skin them.

    This deserves further comment. Of course, this doesn’t produce the same result. As the forces trying to release Saddam lose their leader, the death count goes down as the movement loses steam. The country is assured he never comes back and breathes a sigh of relief. The 6 year old girl is an innocent victim, and just produces a dead body.

    Vastly different results. Hanging Saddam saves lives, killing a six year old girl just takes a life. Completely different.

    talk to peta people and the first one that owns anything in leather tap them with a seal club.

  • TheTodd’sTwin

    Todd, you are not helping yourself by splitting hairs for the sole purpose of defending PETA’s childish wailing and gnashing of teeth (sackcloth and ashes, too) over the … OMFG!!! … killing of a fly.

    I’m defending PETA’s practice of euthanizing unwanted strays.

    Slaughtering one animal while euthanizing another BOTH provide the same end result: A dead animal.

    Hanging Saddam Hussein and decapitating a 6 year old girl also produce the same result: A dead person. See, this is why you’re so dumb it hurts my head.

    Are you really too stupid to comprehend the ways in which euthanizing unwanted stray pets reduces the suffering of animals, while slaughterhouses increase the suffering of animals? Is anyone that stupid?

    e4bannan: Do you really not understand the difference between slaughtering animals and euthanizing them?

    eu·tha·na·sia

    n.

    The act or practice of ending the life of an individual suffering from a terminal illness or an incurable condition, as by lethal injection or the suspension of extraordinary medical treatment.

    From the FAQ of their official website:

    As difficult as it may be for us to accept, euthanasia (carried out by veterinarians or trained shelter professionals via intravenous injection of sodium pentobarbital) is often the most compassionate and dignified way for unwanted animals to leave this uncaring world.

    No terminal illness or incurable condition. Just unwanted(mostly by them). Then they admonish a man for swatting a flying disease bag. PETA puts the hypocrite in
    hypocrite.

  • e4bannan

    They do more each day for animals than you’ve done in your entire life.

    From 1998 through 2008, PETA killed over 21,000 dogs, cats, and other “companion animals.”

    I have to agree, that’s certainly more than I have done.

  • Pilgrim

    absolute torture to be trapped in the same room with Bambi.

    Heh. Best line of the thread.

    The fly couldn’t stand it anymore and got itself euthanized. I understand.

    Hypocrisy is the mother of all credibility problems, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has it in spades. While loudly complaining about the “unethical” treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, anglers, and countless other Americans, the group has its own dirty little secret.

    PETA kills animals. By the thousands.

    From July 1998 through December 2008, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) killed over 21,000 dogs, cats, and other “companion animals.” That’s more than five defenseless creatures every day. PETA has a walk-in freezer to store the dead bodies, and contracts with a Virginia Beach company to cremate them.

    Not counting the pets PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during the last five years. And its angel-of-death pattern shows no sign of changing.

    The pot calling the president black.

    Only for a moral relativist.

  • ginger

    Okay sure PETA overreacts sometimes but seriously did he have to point out his killing of the fly
    kind’ve a dick move onhis point
    everyone was like oh it’s just a fly
    well tht’s what people say about other animals and insects
    oh it’s just a cow oh it’s just a chicken
    peta tries to care for all animals and insects
    relax
    they’re not launching a campaign against obama
    they just are trying to get people to care for other things then just themselves

    It’s not a secret, they’re very open about the reasons they euthanize stray animals.

    This is a group that compares eating meat to the Holocaust. By PETA’s standards, these animals have as much, or greater, a right to life than lowly humans. Yet they murder (yes that’s the correct term) these unique lives by the thousands.

    Think about that. Most of these animals they “liberate” would’ve found a home anyway, as they steal them from real shelters that adopt them out. Real shelters only euthanize animals that are sick, dying, or have severe behavior problems that make them dangerous to the other animals. PETA comes in, snatches them up, and, without so much as trying to adopt them out, kills them. This is the equivalent to “liberating” children from an orphanage, only to toss them in a gas chamber. Sick.

    They do more each day for animals than you’ve done in your entire life.

    The average 6 year old has done more for animals in their short little life than PETA has done since it’s founding.

    This is the moron group that used to release chickens from their pens into the wild…where they either starved to death or were torn apart by foxes, possums, etc. PETA is the animal version of the Nazis, but with a smiley faced Tshirt.

  • Pilgrim

    Do you really not understand the difference between slaughtering animals and euthanizing them?

    Slaughtering. Euthanizing. Tomayto. Tomahto.

    They end up just as dead, no matter what kind of pretty labels you want to put on it. Oh, wait, but they’re not slaughtered like cattle in a slaughterhouse, right? They’re gassed. That’s better, huh?

    So, when people were herded into gas chambers by Hitler’s crew, were they slaugheterd or were they euthanized?

    Splitting hairs won’t work.

  • rog

    We have a thing called a horse fly here, just a larger version of the deer fly. They take a chunk out and leave you bleeding.

    You are so stupid it hurts my head.

    Todd, you are not helping yourself by splitting hairs for the sole purpose of defending PETA’s childish wailing and gnashing of teeth (sackcloth and ashes, too) over the … OMFG!!! … killing of a fly.

    The difference between “slaughter” and “euthanize” is in the supposed intent.

    Still, no matter how you slice those Tomatoes (say it however you wish), E4B is right. Slaughtering one animal while euthanizing another BOTH provide the same end result: A dead animal. Dead animals… that little mental image that allegedly sends PETA’s soldiers into seizures and fits.

    When one feels the need to defend PETA for its immaturish publicity hissy fit over the death of a … fly, one reveals a lot about themselves.

    See, this is why you’re so dumb it hurts my head.

    Everyone who doesn’t agree with you is dumb, and that makes your poor widdle head hurt? Or is it really just a headache-inducing inability to comprehend anything different from your own ideals? Whatever. Doesn’t matter. I have seen you use the “so dumb it hurts my head” attack twice on this thread alone. It seems too convenient.

    The POINT is: PETA throws a temper tantrum over the public slaughter (pronounced “killing”) of an UNWANTED fly by the supposed champion of the downtrodden, while at the same time supporting and partaking in the euthanizing (pronounce “killing”) of thousands of UNWANTED dogs and cats. Nothing at all wrong with those animals. They were just… Unwanted. Inconvenient. Disposable.

    Some were just pointing out PETA’s own duplicity.

    NOTE: I know it depends upon which side of the aisle one takes their stand, but, I kinda figure the fly was euthanized. I mean, come one. I had to be absolute torture to be trapped in the same room with Bambi.

    No further proof is needed that libs are nutjobs. They mourn the loss of disease vectors.

    And speaking of disease vectors we have herpitized, right here on SAB.

    The responsible women told me right before we were going to have protected sex and indicated they were not having a “break out”. HSV-1 or HSV-2 are usually visual. I didn’t stick around long as one was in a transition period, as was I, she just wanted to hit it because we worked together and because of the tension. The second I just lost interest after learning the facts. So I reduced my risk exposure down to one experience only, per woman.
    I have never contracted an STD. But I sometimes take pills for Clamydia just to be safe, because its hard to diagnose and is most common in women.

    Toad, you’re an utter jerkoff.

    I have over a dozen cats, all FLV/FLK cases, and whereas others would euthanize them, I take care of them, pay for vet care, and food and litter. I extend their lives until they can no longer fight and they pass on. So far, I’ve added on over twenty-eight years of straight calendar time total to them they would not have otherwise had.

    I receive no donations.

    I am paid nothing.

    I pay for food, litter, and vet bills.

    All outgo, no income.

    PETA has no excuses for what they do whatsoever.
