LadyEllen -> RE: PETA wishes Obama hadn't swatted that fly (7/1/2009 12:14:12 PM)
|
I swatted and splatted my way through 32 large meat flies last night, and managed another 5 this morning. My chosen weapons were my tennis racquet (otherwise unused for years due to arthritis) and a rolled up copy of the Chronicle (a local newspaper also useful to line kitty litter trays but not much else).
Assuming I had done this in the US, would I be liable for prosecution by PETA?
Now it should be noted that the house also has half a dozen static, slow release insecticide stations - this may have rendered my victims less able to escape my murderous rampage I accept. The effects of the poison are deadly, eventually - the fly suffers what is a slow and probably distressing demise.
Given this, and the quick execution I provided, assuming I provided it in the USA, would I be in line for a PETA award for minimising the suffering of the flies?
