So Peta people would not swat a mosquito in the act of sucking their blood, even in a west nile infected area.
Yeah right. Watch out for those poor termites eating you out of house and home too.

I wish President Barack Obama would swat the pesky nuissance that is called: PETA. They are worthless, extremist, douchebags.

why doesn't anybody seem to report on this as a personal hygiene story, like where might of had the fly been, and did oobama wash his hands when he was done killing the fly for no other reason than to kill, and who's hand if any did Obama shake afterwords.

All PETA mayhem aside, I just wanted to point out that insects ARE animals!!!

From Websters definition of insect: "1 a: any of numerous small invertebrate animals (as spiders or centipedes) that are more or less obviously segmented —not used technically b: any of a class (Insecta) of arthropods (as bugs or bees) with well-defined head, thorax, and abdomen, only three pairs of legs, and typically one or two pairs of wings

me again, if someone already said this forgive me must have missed it... but an intelligence check:

a fly is NOT an animal it is an insect.

again, so garsh darn dumb.

PETA people are so "racist" they only protect animals what about the plants of the world? they are life as well, and should be protected against we evil humans!

this is just so garsh darn dumb.

Why not promote repect and honor for all life, regardless, and when we eat what ever we like to eat give thanks for the life they give in order to sustain ours, including plants.

or better, if PETA ppl had their way we humans would no longer exsist because, according to their thinking, we should not eat anything that is alive, so we would all die. Hey, PETA ppl why not save us the trouble and just off yourselves???? (I say with tongue in cheek)

Oh SHUT UP, Peta.
I swear... PETA is like those preachy religious people you wish you could just lob a can of peas at.

Although agentkevinski may be right regarding this particular story, PETA gets what they deserve. They are trying to get the Pike Place Market in Seattle to stop (dead) fish tossing because they say it's comparable to tossing kittens. Once again, the fish are dead and the tossing is part of the Pike Place Market culture. Admit it, PETA is pretty ridiculous.

The problem with PETA is that they hold everyone to a higher standard than they do themselves. One of the top people at PETA is diabetic. She has been confronted about her use of insulin, which is obtained from dogs. She stated that her life in dedication to PETA's goals was more important than the dogs'. Complete hypocrisy, especially when they have members saying that children should have been left to die rather than obtaining heart valves from animals.

And, as mentioned by other posters, almost all the animals turned over to PETA end up euthanized. They simply do not devote the money or effort to the care of animals that they expect of others.

What's the real issue here - That PETA, love them or hate them, stuck to their convictions when confronted with a challenge to their core beliefs?

Or that NBC News devoted almost 2 full minutes of their nationwide news broadcast to a story/video of nothing more than the President of the United States swatting a fly?

What did anyone expect would come of this? The words "must have been a slow news day" don't even come close to justifying the overwhelming stupidity of this whole thing. . .

You'd the the Commander-in-Chief would have a SWAT team for flies.

Flies are insects and they spread disease. PETA are idiots who do more harm to their campaign than good when they react over something like this.

Wow, that's.. pretty sad of PETA. Guess that's why I am with the alternative PETA. People who Eat Tasty Animals. Mmm.

PETA has killed more animals in the last 10 years than the president could ever dream of.

I wish I could kill a fly just like that! Quick and dead on!

I wish PETA was so easy to get rid of as flies.

Fly = Insect
I think PETA should apologize for overstepping their boundries and should have let PETI step in and issue a statement.

No I agree with PETA- I won't vote on that Brute of a president- Mán he's an Animal!!! A Beast- I mean look at his reflexes! That is not human! Whuhhhhh Creepy....
I personally always carry at least 10-15 devices wherever I go not to harm the innocent critters that bug me. 1 for big houseflies, 1 for small houseflies, 1 for muskitos, another for wasps, yet another for big spiders and yet another for small poisonous spiders. Then I always carry all the equipment to catch snakes of different kinds that could perhaps cross my path and finally I carry a device to harmlessly neutralize dangerous dogs ánd I tote a tazer for the occasional niusant human.... - Oh, and I have them all invisible in my breastpocket of my suit...

I'm kinda disappointed in neatorama jumping the blow-things-out-of-proportion and jump-on-PETA's-ridiculousness bandwagon. I hate PETA myself, but this is just low
