Default PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly

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."

PETA attacking Obama? Now that is funny. It is like watching canabalism. As they say; " Crazy things happen when liberals come to power."

It was a remote controlled fly and it cost a pretty penny.

New unmanned military spy bug. Put in testing to see if we should spend 1 trillion on a dozen of them.
