PETA Finally Goes Right Round the Bend

You thought PETA (People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals) couldn't get any more bizarre. Apparently you thought wrong. Earlier this week, US president Barack Obama swatted a fly that was disrupting him during an interview with NBC. The animal rights group came out today announcing that they were vary disappointed in the president for doing that. The group's spokesman Bruce Friedrich said that ""We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals, we believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals." Friedrich went on to say that while they approved of Obama's voting record on animal rights "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect, and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't." PETA suggested that he should have used a more humane method that allows flies to be trapped and released outside. I had often joked that PETA would soon equate swatting flies to murder. Now I can say that they finally have. This is just too funny. PETA members really need to find something better to do with their time.
