Question

Do you feel any sort of remorse when you kill an ant?

Answer 1

I certainly don't enjoy killing them, but sometimes it happens accidentally. Also, when they're in your home, what choice do you have?

Answer 2

yes and snails and spiders and masquittos yes sometimes i feel bad and guilty...

Answer 3

yes  

Answer 4

Yes i do, a lot. If i go on a weird whim and kill some for fun (don't do it often, promise) i feel really bad about it later.

I just kind of think "what if a giant person just walked up to me and started chasing me about with a magnifying glass, trying to burn me to death, how would i like it????"

Well, i would not like it at all.

So, when i'm walking i even avoid stepping on them.

I think ants are the shiznit, they communicate with one another and are very human like i think. Watch an ant hill one of these days, you'll get what i'm saying.

I love ants....can you tell??? ;)

Answer 5

If it's outside and I accidently kill it yes. But if it's my house no. I don't like bugs in my house. And if it's like on my when I'm outside no.

Answer 6

As a Buddhist, I am forbidden to kill or harm any being. So yes, I would feel remorse, and it would affect my karma.

It's also the reason I'm a vegan.
