An animal rights group has urged US President Barack Obama to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he is pestered by a fly after he was shown swatting one dead.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ( PETA ) said it is now planning to send Mr 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. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."
During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Mr Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.
"Get out of here," the president told the insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.
How to completely undermine any of the good work your organisation has ever done Banghead
Stick to campaigns against wearing real fur - not feckin the rights of a fly . They have none - end of evil:
-
If it had been Gordo he'd have issued landing tax before droning on.
Regardless of whether or not they do a good job a large proportion of Peta members will always come across as nutbags. Unfortunately they havent learned to shut them up yet.
-
Maybe they could create a " Katcha irritating human bugger catcher " noooo:
-
Did you see the video of him swatting the "sucker"? Nothing to do with Presidential but mighty fine human reactions 8)
Now, film buffs, which film was it where an agent, major protagonist in the narrative, disposed of a fly with his gun?

"You know how to whistle don't you Steve? Just put your lips together and blow".
17 year old (yes really) Lauren Bacall to Humphrey Bogart in the 1944 movie "To Have and to Have Not" Probably one of the most erotic scenes in any movie EVER!

rubschin: With due deference to the omniscient Snoops ( ;) ), I'm thinking of another one... black & white possibly, early Lee Marvin, possibly 60's, New York or major US city setting... A hit man is being hired, pretty sure it's a gun that disposes of the fly on the wall or ceiling...
-
I think it has been used a few time both with Gun and Knife but I did remember that one and a clip was available ~ too good a chance to miss. ;)

I thought it was from a Manga cartoon myself whistle:

And don't forget James Coburn in Our Man Flint. Shoots a fly on the wall with a blow pipe if I remember rightly

& there's a (fairly) new film with Angelina Jolies & Morgan Freeman in it where a chap shoots the wings off 3 flies. Can't remeber the name of it.

I liked the one where the guy was showing off his prowess with a Samurai Sword. He whipped it out and slashed it at a passing fly. The fly flew on and everyone said "You missed". The Samurai Master replied "I did not miss, he will not breed again".

I just killed a fly with my bare hands and killer instincts 8)
