Day 58 fly strips

Around horse barns fly strips are a common sight, especially in June when flies seem to be everywhere. I remember reading an essay years ago which detailed the cruelty of fly strips. The flies long and suffering death stuck to glue, while young girls walked by each day not giving them a second thought. But in nature there are spiders whose venom can paralyze a fly and keep it that way until the spider is ready to dine. Not to mention I walked into the tack room earlier this year and a fly flew into my mouth. I mean it flew IN. I immediately drank a diet Pepsi but that disgusting feeling did not leave, not then, not later, not now. My only regret about fly strips is that they do not catch more flies.
