PETA Swats at Obama for Killing That Fly!

Posted Jun 17th 2009 11:03AM by TMZ Staff

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.

62. Don't eat in a PETA maniac's house. Betcha they let all kinds of vermin up in their house trying to uphold God's creatures. That's why God let insects reproduce so many and so quickly. He knew humans would slap them into oblivion!

63. Next PETA is gonna press charges against an important person doing mass murder whenever that person walks across a lawn. Can you imagine all the dead ants people create? Or swatting a hornet or a wasp that's out to get YOU for disturbing them!

67. My only hope is that the fly had just come in from being on a pile of Bo's crap.

69. PETA people are so two faced! They bitch and scream about fur and flies when their spokespeople wear leather???!!! So, it's not okay to eat cow but you can wear it? I especially get a kick out of the ones who wear Uggs while being a hypocrite preaching about animal rights!! PETA people are morons!

70. Seriously PETA? You guys need to take a rest. You are completely nuts. Of all the things going on in this world, you are concerned about a fly. I hope one of you PETA crazies is attacked by a swarm of flies...then we'll see what happens!!

73. I don't care much for Obama, but this is just idiotic. PETA has to be the biggest bunch of idiots in the world. They really need to get real jobs and grow up!!!!!

There are plenty of things to complain about President Obama. Killing disease-carrying vermin isn't one of them...
