Why wont I kill insects?

Question

Earlier I realized I am one of those "wouldn't hurt a fly" people, I am so scared of spiders but cant bring myself to kill them. There was a spider on the floor and I didnt want it running around my house or biting me so I first tried to get my dog to eat but she wasnt interested, I was on the phone with my husband and he told me to get a shoe and kill it, I grabbed my shoe but couldnt kill it. I got a cup and trapped it and put it outside.....What makes some people able to kill things without a thought, and other people not. I am this way with anything even ants.

Answer 1

You tried to get your dog to eat the spider? That's even more cruel than killing it! that's absolutely disgusting, have you thought about your dog? .. anyway, i guess if you can't kill insects that just means that you're a really sensitive person.. i feel bad killing insects too. unless they're spiders, cuz those just creap me out and i'm super scared of them, so i don't feel sorry for them..  

Answer 2

Because half of use are men and he other half women?!

Answer 3

That's great news.  Its always good to hear that there are people who arent killing insects left-right and center.

Why cant you kill them?  Because they are living beings just like us.  They want to be happy - just like us.  They have homes and families - just like us.

Answer 4

You are just soft-hearted. No crime there. Remember most spiders are harmless and beneficial, so all the more reason not to kill them. I'm amazed by the answer thinking a spider would hurt your dog. Unless it was a black widow or brown recluse any dog would snap it up as a snack.

Answer 5
