The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humaneattitude the next time he's bedevilled by a fly in the White House.
PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.
"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."
During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.
"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.
"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."
Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.
Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."
Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.
That was a terrorist fly, or would PETA prefer it to be tried by a jury and put down by a more humane way e.g lethal injection in Texas. Lets not make world headlines with the
Global Financial Crisis origination from the
American Credit Crunch, from fraudulent bankers...
Let NOT talk about the Rothschilds, Bilderbergs, Rockefellers, but rather
Lets inject $13,500,000 into PETA to do a study if when Obama steps out from a helicopter, he kills how many ants ???
Pathetic focus on news.
