Please tell me that I'm not the only one who finds this a bit disturbing.

Yes, I know, they're just flies, most insects don't even have a centralized nervous system, so they probably don't feel it, but at least fly swatters are quick and practical.

I know I'm invoking the "Slippy Slope Fallacy" here, but I'm just a tiny bit concerned they might move on to something… bigger. And it's only a fallacy if it doesn't eventually come true.
