Are the animal activists going to far with Obama killing a fly?

Yes, the activists are going too far...and "we're" keeping it going by answering this question.........:P

Yikes.

Yeah, I used to be into that **** and also worked at an animal shelter for years. They're all crazy! Some of the trashiest, nastiest ******** in the world! Peta wanted wanted The Pet Shop Boys to change their name!

yes, idiots

I hadn't heard about that, but now I'm gonna act all shocked and appalled.. 'Oh my God, not a fly, he has no soul, the monster..' :/

Well of course they are. This was a huge mistake on their part. Points at their credibility. After laughing at this story I did google whaling.

Perhaps thats what they did it for. To draw attention to other more important issues.

But flys?

PETA is a great organization; there is nothing more honorable than protecting species that cannot protect themselves, especially those from human aggression.... However, i think they went a little overboard with the whole fly incident... of course we have to think that since the news picked it up, they sensationalized the whole story... I think PETA just wanted to quietly say there are other ways to go about getting rid of small little nusances, like flies...

all of this over killing a fly? that's ridiculous.

YES! That is ridiculous and like the man doesn't have enough to do than deal with that stupid ****!

Yes I'd say so!

Yes its a fly who the **** cares.

yes. anything to keep the 'cause' in the public forums.

That's ridiculous.

Animal rights activists are making a fuss over it??

Haha!! That's freaking hilarious!

yes.... and 1 we are not in india...2 flies are annoying as hell. they buzz around poop then get in your face....EEEWW
I really didn't know they were going after him for that! how stupid! next thing they will go after the people who buy posion that kills ants! :P

I'm just sad to know he is not a secret Buddhist...

Does anyone remember a campaign back in the early 60s to put clothes on aminals? It all turned out to be a giant hoax. I can't help comparing this event to that. Is it April 1st or something?

yes if the flys had there way they would kill us in a second...ilike animals too but there's a limit...if those minks had there way they would be wearing us...

It's sad really, I personally don't eat meat that has been factory farmed or lived a cramped/cage only life. I have no problem with eating meat, I just prefer that it was out in the wild somewhere, free range or off of my inlaws farm, or some nice venison that someone brings me. I can not, however, condone PETA's acts. I think they take themselves far too seriously, and preach their agenda a little too loudly for me, almost like a lot of organized religions leave a bad taste in my mouth, I just can't follow it. The fly thing, was totally absurd.

Killing that fly was the most determined and successful thing Obama has done so far!

The only thing that would have been cooler would be if he had looked straight into the camera afterwards and said "That's gonna be you, Kim Jong!"
