Ways PeTA shoots itself in the foot

its things like getting upset over the death of a FLY that gives PeTA the image of being full of 'nuts' ... I'm sorry, its a fly - lifespan, 3 days max ... it was just about dead anyways ... besides, the White House is in a "No Fly" zone - had it been a plane piloted by a person, it would have been shot down (without a word from PeTA)

Video: PETA sad that Obama killed fly on national television - TwinCities.com:

"No, not like that. But actual flies are swarming the place, confounding housekeepers, irritating aides, even trying to feast on the president. During an East Room interview with John Harwood of CNBC on Tuesday, a giant fly orbited Obama's head.
'I got the sucker,' the president boasted after fatally slapping the critter on the back of his hand."

here's a clip of the incident:

Now in case anyone has lost this bit of info -- FLIES SPED DISEASE!!! They land on garbage and crap ]there's a joke in there at the surface but I'm letting it slide by] and then land on other surfaces spreading all sorts of bacteria with their little feet. UCK!

I don't know what the purpose of certain bugs are - mosquitos, ticks, flies, etc - but you know, I'd kind of like to see what life would be like without them.
