Chris Christie under fire from PETA for killing a SPIDER in front of fourth graders
(UK) Daily Mail ^ | May 4, 2013 | Nina Golgowski

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is taking heat from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals after he killing a spider on his desk in front of a class of fourth graders.

In a video titled, 'Governor Christie Saves School Children From Spider,' his fearless spider-swatting skills are witnessed to cheers from his daughter, Bridget’s classmates after it caused a commotion on his desk.

He tells the children after delivering it a quick slap by his palm that it's just one of the many perks of being governor.

'Any bugs on your desk you're allowed to kill them and not get in trouble,' he says in the short 26 second video published by the governor's office on Friday.

Though he resisted the urging from one boy to 'staple it,' and perhaps humanely euthanized the arachnid with a quick stomp, PETA reacted less than thrilled.

Just goes to show that no matter how much Fatso grovels for the lefties, when it comes to crunch time, the lefties will treat him just like any other Republican. And he’s burned his bridges with conservatives, so he’s going to be SOL.

Obama killed a fly. It didn’t matter.

He killed an entire country.

Actually, I don’t kill spiders, because they are helpful at keeping down the fly and bug population.

But I think my reasoning differs from PETA in that regard.

Obama was hunting for food, not killing for sport.

PETA is the same organization that has killed thousands of dogs..they are one to talk about “killing.”

Did they ever get upset when Obama killed that pesky fly with his bare hands?

Maybe they did and that's why he started letting the flies just crawl around on his face
