  PETA Says No More Fly-Killing, Sends Obama a Humane Fly Catcher

  PETA has a few words for President Obama: Brush, don’t kill.

  After the President very publically swatted and then killed a fly during an interview with CNBC yesterday, the outspoken animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) said they wished Obama had served a better example.

  “We support compassion for the even the smallest animals," says Bruce Friedrich, VP for Policy at PETA. “We support giving insects the benefit of the doubt."

  Friedrich says PETA supports "brushing flies away rather than killing them" and was disappointed that the President had gone ahead and squashed the pesky fly.

  This afternoon PETA sent a Katcha Bug, a device which traps bugs and allows their safe release back into nature to the White House.

  PETA hopes the President will use the catcher but has no far not received communication back from the White House, although they did not ask for specific correspondence.
