PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly - Weird news- msnbc.com

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."

What do you think of this, Bill? I laughed..................

When I saw the replay of him swatting the fly, I knew PETA would have a fit. They had a little too much fun with this story on the news this morning. :yh_rotfl

I've been looking up a "bug gun" on the 'net. Available for a small price, fires a spinning disc. Perhaps Mr. Obama should have one (and his bodyguards, too!).

It's a freekin fly for heavens sake. Wonder if members of PETA would let flies and mosquitos chew on their children and let their dogs and cats have fleas. They need to get a life.

PETA have been trying to get Australian fish warm and fuzzily reclassified/renamed/whatever as sea kittens.

Battered sea kitten and chips coming up! Vinegar or ketchup with that???

A CAMPAIGN to rename fish as "sea kittens" in order to improve their image has been ridiculed by the Federal Opposition.

Outspoken animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is using the "sea kitten" name as part of its push to restrict fishing.

"Nobody would hurt a sea kitten!" the group says on its website.

"People don't seem to like fish.

"We're going to start by retiring the old name for good.

"When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it's time for a serious image makeover."

The website features images of fish with cats' whiskers and ears.

Opposition fisheries spokesman John Cobb was not impressed with the campaign, nor with PETA.

PETA has offended some in Australia with is high-profile campaign against mulesing, the practice of cutting away the skin from a sheep's rear to prevent flystrike.

Mr Cobb said the group had little credibility.

"It is hard to take an organisation which wants to change the name of fish seriously," he said.

Many people might laugh at the sea kitten campaign, Mr Cobb said, but PETA's agenda was actually more sinister: destroying the meat and fish industries.

PETA has convinced a number of large companies to boycott Australian wool which comes from mulesed flocks.

The group argues mulesing is cruel and there are better ways to prevent flystrike.

That's it !!!! get out of my way . LET ME AT "EM!!!!!!

I'm sorry I'm having a hard time picturing something with the word "kitten" in it chewing on some blokes surf board after gnawing off his leg.

Has anyone looked at a fish recently and thought " awwwhhh what a cute liddle kitty"????????

Fuzzy - how could you???!!! If a fish, oops sea kitty - comes into ForumGarden and reads what you wrote, they might feel seriously disrespected and deeply hurt.

Oh pammy dear you underestimate moi.

I should think I would apologise profusely, siting delirious flu symtoms for my reason behind losing my senses over this topic and respectively and attentively listen to their pleas for resaon ...............

then I would tell them to shut up and (how does it go?) then "drive a hook" through their head and enjoy those little kittys with a nice hollandaise or Asian marinade sauce.

Geesh I'm not totally evil you know:sneaky:

Flies and mosquitoes pose rather high health hazards ~

maybe that's why we think of them as PESTS, eh?

It's like some demented kind of communism:

If you do it for one,

you must do it for ALL,

regardless of the merits/faults of the action(s). :-2

Man, this is so horribly wrong...
