I'll admit I'm one of those pansies who takes the effort to set flies free rather than give 'em the ol' one-two.

But that's all I'll admit...

PETA can take a farking leap. A fly is not an animal, it is an insect. A discusting insect at that.

I love PETA. If they suddenly became reasonable, the sum total level of entertainment in the universe would measurably decrease.

Crigger540: No tossing dead fish, no fly swatting, what could possibly be next?

I'm sorry you have a flesh-eating bacteria but PETA banned the topical ointment. Because they support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals. They believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals. So no ointment for you.

Do PETA members drive **EXTRA** slow so they don't injure any insect life on the way to work? Must be a lot of PETA members in Dallas.

have these loons, collectively or in individual cases, taken a stance on the pro-choice issue?

Melgania: If I had to choose between a bullet in the back of the head or being thrown into a pit full of wolves as a method of execution, I'd take the bullet. Definitely more quick and painless and humane. :)

But having "Torn to death by wolves" as the ending of your biography would be awesome!

FlyingPig: As much as I hate PETA, I have to hand them one thing here: I'm actually surprised by their consistency. I've always said that animal-rights people are hypocrites who only care about saving the cute, cuddly animals. I've never seen any of them pitch a fit over someone killing a bug before. So at least they're consistent.

I mean, they're still f*cking idiots, but at least they're consistent. I didn't even expect that much of them.


Actually, no points of consistency. The are the people for the "ETHICAL" treatment of animals. What is the ETHICAL treatment for a potential infection spreading pest?

Kill it. With fire. Doesn't matter how cute and cuddly the darn thing is.

TommyymmoT: It's OK.

Paramedics revived it, and it shall peacfully live out the rest of it's days on a farm owned by Sir Paul McCartney.

When interviewed, the fly said it was "petitioning the current president for a mere crust of dog sh*t, after having been abandoned, and forced to live on the fetid, rotting remains of The Constitution left behind by the Bush administration".



Hm...not enough laughs yesterday with the constitution joke? Protip: age does not impart a funnier spin on a witticism...especially when the age applied is a day.

I have to be honest I have seen some peta members I want to eat, Some of the hot naked painted like animals in cages women.

I am not sure what they were trying to do with those protests but in some respects they were very effective.

Unfortunately I've found it's psychologically impossible to talk to one of those women for more than eight seconds without wanting to club a seal and plunge your teeth into its still beating heart (and I don't even eat meat.)

How long before that Fly goes up for bid on eBay?

At least he didn't smack anyone in the face. Although, had he smacked the reporter interviewing him in the face, it would have been FUNNY AS HELL!!!

Tigger: I hope that when they get an infection they respectfully do not slaughter the innocent bacteria with the oppressive patriarchal boot of antibiotics and allow the bacteria their right to course through their bodies devouring their internal organs as life intended.

Bacteria aren't in the animal kingdom. They're fair game.

Of course, high-ranking officers of PETA have proven willing to accept treatment made possible by animal testing, of which they're firmly opposed...
 
2009-06-18 09:34:38 AM
Shouldn't obama have been able to lay on hands and bring the fly back to life?

Actually I am impressed the fly didn't freeze from exposure to the cool..... (I just couldn't believe none of the righty farkers hadn't made the messiah joke yet)
 
2009-06-18 09:34:44 AM
PETA should know the difference between an animal and an insect.

/oh wait it's PETA

The point has probably been made already, but PETA should protest this. I think they are asshats, but if they want to protect animals, it SHOULD be ALL animals and not just the cute ones.

Personally, I'm in the "People Eating Tasty Animals" club.

FlyingPig: accelerus: "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect" you are right... he's HUMAN. Show me one human who likes disease ridden flies buzzing in their face. Maybe all those cows who have flies swarming on them should stop using their evolved tails to swat them away?

The only way I will accept this retarded statement from peta is if everyone of their members gets put into a huge clear box, loaded with flies and mosquitoes and see how long they can resist slapping them away and in the process killing a few.

How many hundreds of billions of mosquitoes, flies, ants, and other pests do we have on this planet?

Just when you think they can't get any more "out there".... well here ya go.

Fark you PETA - the animals i eat on a daily basis are even more delicious knowing it pisses you off :)

Every time I hear someone going on about how meat is immoral, I want to ask them how immoral it is when a lion springs on a zebra in the grassland and mauls it alive. Or how immoral it is when a snake swallows a mouse whole and slowly digests it while it suffers.


This immoral act can be rectified by building many fences and segregating each animal into its own very large cage. The animals will be weaned onto veggies and fruit and off of meat. As the animals take what they want from the land and render it inhabitable for themselves, we will merely swap cages with another animal. The ideal animal to swap cages with would be one that did a different kind of damage to the land so all can thrive. Deal?
