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.

“Aren’t those things supposed to have antlers?”

They've already been removed. If you don't harvest and grind them immediately they loose much of their aphrodisiac potency.

Classes were later cancelled and students were given access to grief counselors.

And once again, the brilliant minds at PETA figure out a way to get everyone outraged and mention them. They're playing us, folks.

Don't you get it yet?

Spiders are not bugs.

If you can get them to line up like that it makes it easier to kill them.

Keep in mind Christie is a liberal.

This whole thing is staged to make you think Christie and PETA are on opposite sides.
