Obama Kills Animals

PETA Says No More Fly-Killing, Sends Obama a Humane Fly Catcher

ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:

PETA has a few words for President Obama: Brush, don’t kill.

After the President very publically swatted and then killed a fly during an interview with CNBC yesterday, the outspoken animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) said they wished Obama had served a better example.

“We support compassion for the even the smallest animals," says Bruce Friedrich, VP for Policy at PETA. “We support giving insects the benefit of the doubt."

Friedrich says PETA supports "brushing flies away rather than killing them" and was disappointed that the President had gone ahead and squashed the pesky fly.

This afternoon PETA sent a Katcha Bug, a device which traps bugs and allows their safe release back into nature to the White House.

PETA hopes the President will use the catcher but has no far not received communication back from the White House, although they did not ask for specific correspondence.

Friedrich admits that despite his fly-swatting ways, the President has been a champion for animal rights in the past. PETA claims to be pleased by Obama’s denouncement of factory farming, Canadian seal hunting andMichelle Obama’s stance against wearing fur.

Even More Important Than Obama's Elitist Puppy Purchase

As part of a campaign to stop people eating fish, PETA is asking American schools with fish names to change their names to Sea Kitten High School.

The sea kittens campaign, launched in October last year, argues that calling fish sea kittens will make people think twice about eating fish, because fish have feelings as well.

Schools asked by PETA to change their names so far are Whitefish High School in Missoula, Montana and Spearfish High School in Spearfish, South Dakota.

PETA said in a statement that “If [the schools] became Sea Kitten High and everyone in town starts calling fish ’sea kittens,’ fewer of these gentle animals would be violently killed for food, painfully hooked for ’sport,’ or cruelly confined to aquariums. Schools strive for achievements in academics and sports, so why not add compassion to the list?”

Fish DO NOT have feelings. You can catch a fish, throw it back in, and have it immediately bite your hook again. They're just thoughtless automatons that bite shit.

I caught 10 bass in one afternoon last summer and cut the fillets off and threw the heads and guts back in lake Ontario. Breaded them, fried them, and ate them with some tartar sauce and beer. Damn good.
