I know. I know! I couldn't believe it either. One of the most asinine things I've read. I was really shocked, and annoyed when I read the article in the Metro paper this morning. People who think like this, or have the time to think like this need to be committed.
Clearly PETA has nothing to do with their lives. Flies are insects, actually flies are PESTS that “can carry serious diseases” and according to good ole' wikipedia flies can "lay approximately 500 eggs in several batches of about 75 to 150, eggs" and it takes practically no time for them to turn back into flies again.
If a fly or any insect for that matter comes into my house be guaranteed that it WILL be destroyed. And normally, in the most violent way possible, because of the irritation they cause. So many times, I'll be all comfortable on the sofa, eating dinner or something, and watching tv then all you hear is bzzzzzz, bzzzzz as something flies around my head incessantly. I will then have to get up, put a cover my food, missa part of whatever I was watching and then spend time to beat it back into the molecules from which it was made.
But no, crusty PETA would want me to be uncomfortable, then capture it and release it back into the environment with their, “Katcha Bug™ Humane Bug Catcher” (for $8), all because they “support compassion even for the most curious, smallest, and least sympathetic animals.” FOOLS. DAM FOOLS. Bugs, unfortunately, are smart to some degree. “In 2008 it was discovered that a fly anticipates the approach of a threat, calculating the angle of attack, and alters its stance ready to make the most appropriate getaway. This evasive action, which allows the fly to jump away in the opposite direction, takes place within 200 ms.” So riddle me this, once you catch and release it, what the hell is stopping it from coming back and pissing you off all over again? Hmm??
One time there was this big fly making this really loud buzzing noise and I couldn't tell where it was coming from. When I finally found it, it took forever to kill. I was really pissed off. So when I finally got it, I scrapped it up with the swat and fed it to one of the spiders in the backyard and then I took pictures. I should look for them and post them. If I cared more I should probably just mail it to PETA with this entry, and the phrase “HAHA” on each picture.
Finally, where do they get off harassing the president about this? Can you image at a press conference: “Mr. President what about the children, or the economy, or foreign affairs…” and then some crusty person steps forward, “In 2009, you killed a fly. What do you have to say for yourself?!? A fly is a living breathing thing and you had no right to take away its life like that.” UGH. What I think he should do is sell off their company to the highest bidder and then pump that into the American economy that way you kill two birds with one stone.
