The Revenge of the Fly...
Posted by Melina | 6:26 PM


I don't make the news, I merely report it....


PETA apparently is upset that Obama killed that fly. They wish he hadn't. They think he's a bad example of how we should act towards other living beings. So they've sent him a humane fly trap, which allows the trapper to release the live fly outside, where it can fly off and find some shit to lay a kajillion eggs in and then go off and annoyingly spread shit germs!

Worse, there is a certain amount of capitalizing on the back on that dead fly on PETA's part. They sell the Katcha Bug humane fly trap and think that they can sell more by making a certain amount of stink about this poor dead fly. PETA claims that its the news outlets that are making them out to be some sort of fly lovers...uh-huh...

PETA has gone over the edge this time. Whats next, mosquitoes? How about the rights of germs? Isn't it also unfair to kill pneumonia germs in the prime of their lives?

Attention PETA: You are doing more harm to any animals that you might have helped by going to bat for flies!
I just ordered a mess of beneficial nematodes that eat fly eggs...and I'm also not beyond spraying yard guard around the edges of things if I'm gonna be outside. I'm a DEET gal, and besides the usual swatters, we also have a GUN swatter that Will uses to murder flies every day!
President Obama is my hero! Look at those reflexes! Down with Flies!! Long live Obama!

OK, I'm done....



RIP Coco

PETA jumped the shark when they advocated euthanasia for Michael Vick's dogs.

I mean seriously, think about that!! They lobby for the life of a housefly, yet they'd condemn to death a bunch of loyal, sentient mammals merely because they had the misfortune to be abused by a particularly cruel trainer.

Barry, as someone who has alot of experience with dogs, among other animals...and as somebody who currently has 5 dogs, I'd like to know what you base that on.
Because what youve said sorta indicates that you dont know what you're talking about.
Have you tried to rehabilitate a pit bull that was bred and raised to fight? In your experience can it be done?
PETA over does alot of crazy crap, but if they did in fact advocate euthanasia for those particular dogs (and I believe that only some of them had to be put down) it was probably because experts more knowledgeable than you about the specific animals decided that was all that could be done.

We were talking about a FLY here...not dogs.
Maybe you could stretch to the lobster tank at a restaurant, but those or any dogs have no place in this discussion.

I had a lovely piece of brie the other day...millions, if not billions of bacteria died...No, I'm not sorry.

I'm not saying that euthanasia was an unreasonable position (although some of the dogs thought to be lost causes were, in fact, rehabilitated. Don't you watch Animal Planet?) It's just a position I wouldn't have expected PETA to take.

PETA are such absolutists about the lives of animals, you would at least have expected them to suggest they go to one of those mean dog farms or something, right?

To be fair, several news organizations asked PETA for a response to the video --- PETA did not take the initiative, they responded to media inquiries on their website.
