I am always on the lookout for stories to post or to comment on here at You Can Go Green and one of my favorite subjects is to look for the lunacy of some green snobs. I found one that is a couple of years old that I had never seen before and I just had to comment on it. It is green lunacy at its finest. I vaguely remember part of this story but the crazy part never crossed my desk.Do you remember when President Obama was doing an interview on television and snatched a fly that was bothering him out of the air on his very first try? I remember it being shown on a few news sites and even on some of the comedy talk shows the next few nights. It was pretty impressive, but was quickly forgotten. Or was it?
It seems that the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) were not happy that our President snatched and killed a fly. They sent him a package with a trap for flies that would trap them alive and let you release them to the outside. PETA made a statement that basically said that people should be compassionate to all animals.
Now I don't know about you, but if a fly starts buzzing around my head I am going to swat it away. I am wondering just how far some people in our society will go to be so politically correct that they will take a stance on the killing of a fly?
What do you think? I would like to know if you agree with my little rant or am I way off base. I want to be green and I want to protect the environment but can't we go too far?
