If she were feral, though, they'd cart her off for euthanasia for preying on an indigenous species.</p> <p>And I say a double AMEN to your last paragraph. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400686 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 10:25:46 +0000 Annie R 400686@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>PETA is ridiculous, nobody takes them seriously and this is why! While there are real rescue organizations and individuals out there really taking care of animals, PETA is just there for comic relief! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400615 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:34:00 +0000 ellnie 400615@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I just don't understand why PETA is focusing on this ridiculous fly when there are so many animals in the world that need help. Whatever you may think about Obama as our Presidnet, he is clearly an animal lover. He is not your problem, PETA! Go after the bad guys, instead! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400609 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:18:45 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 400609@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Holy Cow! Yes, I agree with MS..good grief is right. PETA is out of control. I don't have to deal with flies in my place, Mia gets them before they have flown even a minute in my apartment. Will I get in trouble for all the flies Mia has eaten?!</p> <p>The average lifespan of an adult housefly is approximately 15 to 25 days and they lay around 500 eggs. I don't think you have to worry about them becoming extinct. I think we can focus on more important things like making sure we don't get tainted meat into our food system. Sheesh!!</p> <p>Why doesn't PETA spend more time going after the animal abusers like that teen who put the kitten in the oven or the teen who is killing multiple cats in Florida (and is out on bail too). Puleeze!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400599 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 08:10:54 +0000 WillowandWindismom 400599@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Humane Bug Catcher???????

Good grief, what idiots! One of my professors children was writing a report for her 2nd grade class on the circus. She went to google to get some info (kids are so smart these days!) and clicked on the first selection. It was a PETA site and the image was horrifying. An image of a mutilated animal. No warning, no disclaimer just this image. She was so upset and had nightmares for weeks. What in the world are they thinking! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400395 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:27:22 +0000 A 400395@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The Folks at PETA should get a life!....jeez! Its a fly!.....No wonder no one takes them seriously. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400391 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:18:53 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 400391@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Give me a break, If a fly was bothering me, I would swat too. President Obama, did what we all would do. Peta needs to get a grip. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400363 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:17:53 +0000 WillowandWindismom 400363@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm for sure not an Obama fan, but this is just plain ridiculous. PETA has come across as idiots. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400359 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:08:06 +0000 Marnet 400359@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Roaches on a leash! ROFLOL You ought to invent one and market it.

Actually tried to find the video on their website because I was going the link to PETA and ask what they were doing about that. Couldn't find it on their website but may not have looked in the right places. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400346 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:43:32 +0000 SoxsMom 400346@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I think we might all want to inform PETA that they are taking a wonderful stand for that poor fly, so why have they forgotten the horse that is forced to give up his life to bomb a few people?? Can you imagine Bin Laden under attack by PETA? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400344 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:36:41 +0000 ailuromaniac 400344@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AZ you beat me to it. I just saw a repeat of that report and thought, "FINALLY, a practical use for PETA. Send them out to capture Bin Laden and destroy the terrorist groups around the world!" </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400336 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:25:25 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 400336@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>On Fox News this morning @ o'dark thirty, they had a video where it was either Gaza Terror group and/or Al Qaeda groups that are now using horses as the carriers of bombs that are activated by remote control in the Middle East...PETA should go over there and confront those people about the cruelty to killing the horses, rather than worrying about the Pres swatting at a fly during an interview. And then worrying about him not showing 'compassion' to the fly, sigh. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400331 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:19:28 +0000 FondaHonda 400331@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Next thing you know, PETA will expect people to put leashes on roaches and escort them to a 'safe haven.' Geez--no wonder a lot of people think that these people are from another planet. </p> <p>Really, they do themselves such an injustice when they start publicizing crap like this. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400323 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:14:31 +0000 Buttercup 400323@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh brother,I will never take Peta seriously again.<br /> And Obama swatting that fly was amazing. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400317 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:07:56 +0000 Leeny 400317@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Here's what at least one representative of PETA thinks of trap-neuter-return programs:</p> <p><a href="http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/040109/let_420509752.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/040109/let_420509752.shtml</a></p> <p>I always wondered how they viewed carnivorous animals--whose side do they take, preditor or prey? Now I know.</p> <p>BTW, the overdevelopment that's going on in my area is destroying more native wildlife than cats ever could by destroying its habitat in favor of more "kiddie condos" for college students with rich parents. In the past two months, I've seen 5 or 6 dead armadillos lying beside the road. Before that, I'd never seen an armadillo; I didn't even know they lived in this part of the country. Cats, both feral and owned, are also being killed by displaced predators. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400303 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:56:44 +0000 owlwatcher_974 400303@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>PETA would really hate us - we like to knock the flies out then put them in the spiders' webs. The spiders loves us (except for the one in the garage that bit me). </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18133#post-400296 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 15:48:19 +0000 2 Popoki 400296@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Oh geez !
