Insects are actually animals, fyi. Under the kingdom ANIMALIA comes the class INSECTA. I guess passing grades aren’t that great after all.

PETA worries about a dumb fly and as anyone knows flies are pests and its HUMANE FLY TRAY is just another rediculous device these PETA idiots come up with and a fly is more intellegent then PETA

Give me a break, we kill bed bugs everytime we go to bed. Should we not lay in our own beds?
I grew up with a Dad that would never kill a roach and would not want to call an exterminater to get rid of them. PETA come live with my Dad. I bet your homes are well exterminated!

I think all of us who think that PETA should get a life need a life of our own, as we seem to have plenty time to critique others.

Allow me to “paraphrase” the bible a bit: we can see the slinter in our PETA brother’s eye, but we cannot see the fly in our own…

Sarina says: “Here we go again any little thing against the black president PETA get real there’s a lot more animals being abused than to talk about this man swatting a fly,”…….. You want to talk about getting real! PETA is out of line but then again so are you for pulling the race card! People like you make me sick!

Geezzzzz…………….It’s not like he Bar-B-Q’d a Flock of them or anything. It was likely a CIA “Bug” and he was sending a covert message back to the Good Ole Boyz on da secret Hill.

The fly intentionally touched the President without the President’s consent. That’s battery. The fly continued to batter the President, so the President used reasonable force under the circumstances to prevent the continued crime against his person. If you wish to extend the same rights that humans have to insects, then you will have to accept that the insects/animals/etc. will have the same corresponding social obligations, i.e., not to batter others. Any reasonable person inherently knows the numerous flaws in PETA’s fundamental principles – that animals are morally equivalent to humans.

PETA (Poking Enough Trashful Always) Goodness sake!!! It was a damn fly not a child he swatted to the floor. Get over it and let him contend with important issues. You can have all the flies that invade my surroundings when I am grilling. Come get them please!!!.

They can have all my flies, come get them. I think Obama handled the fly as humanely as possible. Looked quick, doubt the fly had much time to feel pain. Faster than suffering with spray. Get over it PETA!

All of this over a stinking, known germ carrying insect. Leave the man alone to deal with more important issues than having to humanely catch a fly to release later. Kudos to the president for his actions.

I felt that fly’s pain as it fell to the floor, then President Obama singling out the fly to pick on it in its death fall. People don’t understand that insects are a part of nature. We have to learn to live with the fly, not destroy them. PETA has it right! Keep fighting PETA!

PETA people need to get a life. That stupid comment by PETA has totally turned me off from them.

I know what we should do find all the rats, flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes and any pest to the head of PETAs house and see if they would welcome them.

PETA people how more stupid can they get???

I’m a memeber of PETA, and an active animal rights activist, but I do agree they went a bit to far. They’re just embarrassing themselves when they do things like defend a fly; it doesn’t make people respect them, just laugh. PETA, can you please try and focus on bigger problems than the president swatting a fly? Like maybe making him look at endangered species more closely? It’s almost like you’re wanting people to laugh at you.
