PETA Swats at Obama for Killing That Fly!

PETA is finally going after President Barack Obama for delivering capital punishment to a housefly on the White House grounds yesterday -- a death that was caught on tape.



When asked for comment, here's the statement PETA released:

"He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."

We're told the fly's carcass has been moved to a secret location ... we're guessing the bottom of a White House trash can.

361. A fly...this is so sad I can't believe that PETA is doing this! I'm all for not hurting the animals but...really? This country has more important things to worry about then our president swating a FLY for goodness sake! Like our healthcare....or the war....or how people are losing JOBS...or the war....or...need I go on?

The house fly is a common insect known around the world. Interesting info there. What animal has their offspring in a pile of crap. Dogs-Hmm no, cats-no again, Birds- I would say that is a no again.

=========================
The fact that some of you think a fly is a animal is proof that your nuts.

It may be in the animal kingdom but it is in the insect class.
House Fly
-------
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Diptera
Family: Muscidae
Genus: Musca
Species: Musca domestica

Humans
---------
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
class: Mammalia
order: Primata
family: Hominidae
Genus: Homo
Species: sapiens
Our scientific names is just homo sapiens

The class a species is put in makes it what it is. So there fore a fly is a INSECT. A human a mammal.
