The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled 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."
I have lots of respect for real anti-animal cruelty groups but PETA really do need to shut the **** up if this is the kind of crap they come up with.
-
I usually try to extradite bugs and spiders etc. out of the house unharmed, but that's my personal choice. I wouldn't really go around telling people off for squishing a few flies or something. :)
-
I don't like to kill bugs, but they sneak up on me and I react without thinking. D:
(this is iamzack, obviously, as Turambar and his family regularly slaughter animals for fun)
-
Yes, PETA, eradicating a disease-carrier that is non-sentient in every sense of the word is a crime worse than murder.
-
Stock pile RAID while you can! :lol:
-
I don't like killing small creatures like bugs and flys, no matter how icky they are.
I leave that to my cat. She don't like "intruders" in "her" territory, they all end up as small snack. I guess that's the natural order, and my conscience is unstressed. :P
The only small bug i wouldn't mind if it would dissapear forever from the face of the earth are ticks.
I hate those frakkers.
PETA exaggerated a bit here, that's somewhat to say it as polite as possible, stupid.
-
I used to feed ants with flies...
I liked having anthills under my control when I was little. :nervous:
-
If it's a bee/spider/moth/beetle/snail (I get these on my driveway sometimes)/other little pretty harmless/usefull creature, I generally catch it and throw out of the house (driveway).
For everything else, I have my airsoft gun, an M4 replica with a reflex sight.
-
If it's a spider or bee or something I'll put it outside or whatever. Mosquitos and black flies are dead once they enter engagement range.
PETA needs to get a head-check.
-
I'm happier the President has the speed and hand eye coordination to nail the little bastard.
-
I will never suffer a White Hornet to live. Those things are just plain nasty. Anything else usually gets a pardon. Unless it bites me, then its dead.
EDIT: Oh, and these things too. I hate these bugs.

Longhorn beetles. Ugh.

I'm happier the President has the speed and hand eye coordination to nail the little bastard.
Even if not, he has a lot of armed body guards and, if necessary the entire army of the U.S. to shoot those flys out of his kitchen. :P

Isn't that a firefly? They're nice and fragile, why would you hate them?
I passed near a handful of them a few hours ago (bicycle time). They're not annoying...
-
That's a Brown Spruce Longhorn Beetle, native to Japan. They've been wreaking havoc on spruce and pine forests, especially in Nova Scotia.
-
Interesting. It definitely looks like a firefly. :eek:
-
That's a Brown Spruce Longhorn Beetle
:wtf: I looked it up in order to post it here, and that is a Soldier Beetle.
And yes, that thing is related to the firefly, but it doesn't light up. Those things bite.
-
I watched the video of it and someone I knew said "Watch, PETA is gonna be pissed" and sure enough.

this is the longhorn
-
A female longhorn, I suppose. Males have big horns.
-
The thing is, you're probably going to kill a considerably larger number of bugs while driving than by consciously killing the individual critters. Should driving be banned as well?
-
The only bugs I kill are parasitic ones or germ carrier....that includes mosquitoes, coackroaches, fleas and flies.
But really.. PETA has gone insane.
-
Gone? They've been this stupid right from the start.
People seem to equate them with other anti-cruelty charities like the RSPCA but they're nothing of the kind. PETA's goal is, and always has been "the total liberation of animals from humanity's oppression" that includes the more common objections (animal cruelty, commercial whaling etc), the fringe ones (anti vivisection for testing of medicine, heavy promotion of the vegan lifestyle) and the downright strange (Putting more animals to sleep than other rescue shelters do, equating factory farming with concentration camps or slavery, attempting to ban the ownership of pets and even guide dogs for the blind).
-
...not to mention the fact that they amazingly earn money thanks to their "ethical battles".
-
/me doesn't consider flies to be animals.
And, really, PETA should be more concerned with this (http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/05/06/29/how_many_insect_parts_and_rodent_hairs_are_allowed_in_your_food.htm)* than a single fly.
----
Here's an idea, someone (*wink-wink, nudge-nudge*) should release a few thousand roaches inside of PETA's HQ. I wonder how long it would take for the poison to start flowing. ;7

*If I could navigate the FDA's... arduous website, then I would link to the statistics themselves, rather than that less-than-reputable-looking site. :/

;-)
-
...not to mention the fact that they amazingly earn money thanks to their "ethical battles".
That did spark a thought in my head. Guess who makes and sells the Katcha Bug? :rolleyes:
Yep, this is a massive marketing stunt to sell a product PETA sell on their website.
-
I'm impressed Obama had the hand speed to catch the fly. I can barely kill one without a swatter. Mosquitoes are easier to kill with bare hands. I bet he'd always be the first guy to buzz in on quiz shows or something.
There's a nifty item that's being sold here where I live, it's shaped like a tennis racket but actually acts like a portable mosquito/insect killer. You push a button and it gives off an electric current that fries the little insects. The thing's either powered by battery or you plug it in and recharge it. If the juice is running low, the current isn't strong enough to kill the insects, but enough to stun them, like an insect taser. Then you can step on them while they're writhing on the ground.
Yep, I hate mosquitos. They gave me Dengue Fever when I was 5 so I kinda have a grudge.
-

I do that most of the time, too. Although once, a spider bited me (similar to mosquito bite, it itches). So I killed it.
-
I sometimes thoroughly enjoy bug hunting, like sometimes waiting next to a garbage container outside and using a fly swatter on each one that lands. You could make a game out of it. Fat (pregnant) flies are worth 5 points while small ones are worthy 1. I don't make points out of it but one could do that. It is also fun to cut slugs with scissors or clippers. I recall putting a praymantis on my train set when I was about 8 and putting a lighter below a fly and spider a few times.
neagtive points earned.
If you gotta kill ANYTHING, do it fast and as painless as possible.

Oh I used to have one of those! Much fun, especially using it on humans. :nervous:

owowowowowow - I remember get a shock from 240V once - that hurt.
The Vandegraf generator hurt as well (NEVER let go before it's been earthed).

Oh yes, I remember once in year 8 I caught some bug in the process of stinging/biting me. That hurt when I pulled it off and killed it.

We should play a game of YOU MUST DIE with flies and mosquitoes.

Actually, perhaps the fly was 'stuned'. Happens rarely, but sometimes they fly slower and they're easier to catch.

:lol: hilarious... those fellows on PETA really don't know how to spend their free time.

Guess I'm a bit late, but eh. Generally, I let bugs live... unless they are poisonous or parasitic. I'm somewhat allergic to biting insects, so there is no mercy for their kind, particularly in the case of a nest on my house. Otherwise, shooing is in order.
-
I'm somewhat allergic to biting insects
Fun fact (as opposed to being a douchebag and correcting you) we all are allergic to bug bites, an allergy is an over reaction to a chemical introduced into the body. The ones who aren't allergic are the exception, not the norm.

For a second I read that as stoned.

Speaking of that. I don't see any reason to let a bug go unless killing or catching it is messier and more trouble than letting it fly out by opening the door. I sometimes thoroughly enjoy bug hunting, like sometimes waiting next to a garbage container outside and using a fly swatter on each one that lands. You could make a game out of it. Fat (pregnant) flies are worth 5 points while small ones are worthy 1. I don't make points out of it but one could do that. It is also fun to cut slugs with scissors or clippers. I recall putting a praymantis on my train set when I was about 8 and putting a lighter below a fly and spider a few times.
I'm all for killing the pesky sorts of bugs and all, but I feel like some of this borders on cruelty, sentience or not. Spiders are all about killing the more loathsome forms of vermin, so if they're not two inches long and getting right in my face, I try to leave them alone. And mantises...they're just awesome, and again, they're all about killing other bugs. Annoying critters like gnats and mosquitoes are one thing, but I'd rather enlist the help of the things that prey on them than shoot myself in the foot by bringing my foot down on them.

Usually the only thing stopping me from killing bugs is that it gets clean stuff dirty.

Deer season. Shooting deer.

I kill insects that are considered pests, everything else I release or ignore. I love having spiders around.

Same here. I let lizards and spiders run about my room if I see them. Mosquitoes, moths, beetles and cockroaches, on the other hand...

That's not even even in the same league as this topic.
Go make your own topic if you want to repeat Sean Hannity's bull**** on this forum.
-
Roger that, farmers < fish.
BTW, the topic is less about PETA than it is pig-headed, eco-zealots.
-
Noooo... Have you seriously looked into PETA at all? THere have ben instances in which the higher-ups (Read: The President of PETA) have vindicated the firebombing of facilities dedicated to animal testing.
-
Assuming that it has awareness. Just because it responds to pain doesn't mean it is aware. It is just an automated response in this case. It can't know that it is there. It is too simple of a life form. Even if a life form is complex and has what we call intelligence, it doesn't necessarily mean it is aware. My computer has a lot of data and robots have sensory input with data, but it doesn't know it is there and has no awareness, for example. So I feel there must be more to consciousness than just a brain, a body, and intelligence.
Err on the side of caution.
Assuming something has no real worth is ALWAYS worse than assuming something has more worth.
And there is no positive or negative points since an internet debate is not a board game.
There are negative or positive points to peoples oppinions about you.
-

Don't try to tell me what a thread I started is about.
I'm not in the mood today to have someone put words in my mouth when I tell them not to hijack my thread. This thread is about PETA because of lot of people don't understand what that organisation actually stands for. That's something important because they make a lot of money and then use it to finance the legal defence of criminals.
The article you linked to on the other hand is likely to be controversial and has absolutely nothing to do with either PETA or animal cruelty. If you want to discuss it, get your own damn thread.

Huh?
Obama kills a fly. Reporter calls PETA and asks what they think about it. A spokesman says that they support compassion even for flies and that they'll send Obama a bug catcher just for laughs, and that's "crap"? What would or could have any other anti-animal cruelty group done in that situation? Say they don't care about flies at all or just simply refuse to comment out of fear that someone will make it look like they got pissed off by Obama killing a fly even when they actually didn't?
The only thing about what PETA did in this particular case that stinks is shipping around a rather pointless piece of plastic. I can't see why or how being compassionate towards even insects or answering (which are pretty much the only other two possibilities) when asked would stink.
And hi, I'm new here.
-
Nice first post.
-
:welcome:
The thing is, they're doing it all for publicity. The thing they sent him is PETA-Made and they're shamelessly promiting themselves. PETA is an extremist group, they lie on their page (See: Seal Hunting), they promote extremist activities such as firebombing, and they start ridiculous publicity stunts such as the Obama thing to get press coverage, when hey could be tackling real-life issues in a rational manner. Have you even seen the woman who governs the organization? She is mindblowingly naive and stupid.
-
Let's just say I'm rather suspicious about PETA's claim that the news agencies approached them rather than the other way around.
Given the amount of attention whoring they do over trivially stupid stuff (like telling the Pet Shop Boys to change their name) I wouldn't put it past them for this to have been their idea not some unknown journalists.
-
:welcomesilver:
Welcome to the HLPBB!!! :D
I agree with colecampbell666 - they almost certainly did it in order to promote themselves. Obama is a relevant person all over the word, so using him to promote the "Dicta Peta" was too much convenient.
Karajorma has summed up the problem with those guys, and I wholeheartedly agree with him. People trust them because they fight for an apparently good ideal, the protection and the preservation of animals. No one really cares about how they steal
I'd like to say that PETA is not alone. Here in Italy we have the LAV (Lega Anti-Vivisezione = Anti-Vivisection League) which carries on with comparable oddities. I found out what they really do and think by reading their own magazines... :ick:
-
The thing is, they're doing it all for publicity.
Doing what? Answering a reporter, posting a more elaborate statement on their site when everyone is asking them about it or sending Obama a free catcher for publicity?
The thing they sent him is PETA-Made and they're shamelessly promiting themselves.
So what? That's exactly the same as if Obama found, say, a paddle under his chair during an interview but no canoe, and then some canoe-maker would send him a canoe to go with his new-found paddle, obviously for the purposes of shamelessly promoting themselves and their canoes. Who cares?
PETA is an extremist group, they lie on their page (See: Seal Hunting), they promote extremist activities such as firebombing,
Sure. Yet that has no relevance to my post.
and they start ridiculous publicity stunts such as the Obama thing to get press coverage, when hey could be tackling real-life issues in a rational manner.
PETA didn't start this whole incredibly stupid ruckus about the fly, and absolutely nowhere have I seen any indication that they would have. If you have proof to the contrary, then please, share it. No one else has so far.
Have you even seen the woman who governs the organization? She is mindblowingly naive and stupid.
I haven't, and frankly I don't care to.

Sure, that's fair enough then. I might be a bit suspicious of that myself.

So... PETA's minions would do nothing but cruise the internet whole the time looking for every board wherever someone dares to criticize their organization and then they strike... :eek:

Of course, if I'm wrong and you actually have something rational to say, please do! I'm always up for an argument, if that's what you'd prefer instead of hilarious exchanges of random fallacies.

Insulting people is generally not a good way to make your point in a civil conversation.
As for criticizing people's English skills, I would be very careful about ensuring your own communications are absolutely correct before criticizing anyone else. As you missed two obvious capitalizations you really don't have a leg to stand on, even if your point was actually to suggest he mind his reading ability rather than a not-so-subtle attempt to just cut him down. Consequently, it actually made you look like the jackass, not him.
Have a nice day.

I wonder what sort of plastic those bug catchers are made of.

Gentlemen, let's be gentlemen. Zookeeper has been proven a productive and excellent member of our community, not a PETA spy, and everyone's English has been well-defended.

-
Please take some kind of an english class
He speaks very good English. I have talked to and helped many people with English who have far worse English abilities. You can be quite smart without knowing English. Who says you have to speak English well to be smart? Some people can learn it easier than others. Maybe you don't know that it is one of the most difficult languages to learn. It is like me trying to learn to read Japanese kanji, katakana, or hiragana. I can't do it. It seems impossible for me. If someone is trying to study English and lives in an English speaking country, then as long as they make an effort to learn, then no problem, since they should learn it if they live in an English speaking country. But don't be too hard on them. I like talking to them and actually prefer them to people here.
I had a couple girls (love relationships) who were from other countries who speak it as a second language and I helped them and had patience most of the time, and I liked helping and teaching them. I also have talked to many who speak it as a second language. When I talk to some girls online and they don't speak perfect English, it is kind of cute. You just need to learn some patience with people who don't have it as their first language and don't stop talking to them just because they don't speak the language perfectly. Foreigners really like someone like that who has patience for them, if you know people who are from other countries, that is. Maybe you don't know how hard it is to learn a second language, but I know.
Ahem, are we still talking about this same post here?
So... PETA's minions

Point was, he was arriving to completely bogus and pointless conclusions from what I said (and didn't say), which really has only two notable possible explanations: either he actually meant to write irrational, pointless nonsense or he just made the very understandable and human mistake and didn't quite comprehend what I wrote, which wouldn't happen unless he'd be somewhat unproficient in English (thank you, MP-Ryan!). I was merely trying to be polite and suggest it was the latter.
In hindsight, "reading comprehension" would have been a whole lot better choice of words and more descriptive of what I meant than "english" was. I hope this clears up any confusion?
-
Okay, first everyone needs to calm down.
Second accusing someone of being a plant for PETA is rather silly given that you can easily check the date Zookeeper joined on simply by clicking on his name.
Thirdly, if someone does flame you in a silly fashion like that, use the report to moderator button and we'll deal with it.
-
I wonder what sort of plastic those bug catchers are made of.
[massive exaggeration , possible truth]
Chances are that is made of the unhealthy kind. :P
Made in a factory that doesn't met international standards for environmental protection.
A industrial complex that depletes toxic chemical substances into a nearby river and kills all the animals that live in there or that feed on the animals that live in there.
People get sick from eating the fish out of the river, or getting chronic diseases.
A factory that releases toxic fumes in the air, poisoning everything in the vicinity.
For what? To save a few flies??
[/massive exaggeration ,possible truth] :P :D
-
;-)

I surely hope that the alleged original article is false.
Nevertheless PETA has been a pain in the arse for a long time. Too bad I have never met a PETA activist that would live that close to the nature.
Fun fact (as opposed to being a douchebag and correcting you) we all are allergic to bug bites, an allergy is an over reaction to a chemical introduced into the body. The ones who aren't allergic are the exception, not the norm.
Ahem. Depends on where you live and how often you get bitten. In Lapland they don't seem to get anything from mosquito bites, probably because of the overexposure when they were young. I do get bumps at the beginning of the summer, but nothing at the end of summer.
Besides, there have been stories in Lapland of mosquitos of size of one's hand, and that it is possible to hear them sucking [sluuuurp!] when they puncture your skin. After doing that deed, the swollen sausage proceeds flying [flap flap flap] to the nearest tree with that departed part of your skin. There they start munching that final part so that you can hear [munch munch munch munch]... while looking at you smugly.
Joking aside, I volunteer to be a guide for any substantial PETA group in the local swamp area. I get the mosquito repellant, they don't, on the grounds that it denies mosquitos their natural lunch and since I'm a heartless bastard, I don't care. Actually, come to think of it, I could do it without the repellant also.
And wouldn't it be a nice idea to teach those poor African kids how to use those catcha thingies? Preferably in the AIDS contested area, since there has to be a lot of bugs.

You are correct. They refer to it as a "tanker."

That dialogue reference was intentional? Excellent choice.
For anyone else who has seen the movie, do you have any idea how Rico stays on its back long enough to plant the grenade? :confused:

Well he was pretty much standing on it shooting to make a hole in it, then he grabbed onto that. I read somewhere that Casper Van Dien chipped a tooth filming that stunt (i.e. without a double).
