I didn't think I could like PETA any less than I already do but...

Quote:
 
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."

It was a nice hit:

What a load of old bollocks... if these wackos expect people to listen to them, they've got to stop obsessing over silly things like this.

There is a lot of good to be done as far as animal rights, prevention of animal cruelty and the causing of needless suffering. What makes cruelty to animals cruel - their capacity to feel pain, fear, terror, even betrayal. Like us, mammals and birds have a large part of their brain devoted to these kinds of things.

Insects don't. They're fucking automatons. They don't even have anything resembling mammalian brains or even a brain. Even if we pretend they do, getting instantly smooshed has got to be the most humane way it is possible to kill an insect. Where was the suffering, the pain? It's in my head after being exposed to more PETA idiocy, that's where.

I had forgiven PETA just a tad bit after seeing their Superbowl commercial:

I'm sure the Nth'ch would think similarily about small reptiles as well :D

If there are reptiles that size they would be too. They wouldn't have the brains.
