Seriously... what the fuck?
PEOPLE for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is upset with US President Barack Obama killing a fly during a televised interview.
PETA is sending President Barack 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 pesky insect.
When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.
"Swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Mr Friedrich said.
"We're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."
