The natural end for almost every insect is as food for another. But the article begs us to feel for the bugs! Maybe they can feel pain!
I'm sorry, but that's (several) steps too far in the campaign to make people feel guilty for being carnivores.
- BuyMyBitcoins 6y agoIt’s funny you mention that because I personally have sympathy for the “nice” insects like bees and butterflies. I’ve even gone out of my way to help a few bugs for no reason other than I wanted to be kind to them. But that being said I have no issues culling an entire hive of wasps, laying down fire ant poison, and stomping cockroaches. It’s not logically consistent but then again what facet of humanity is?
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoI'm with you. I do the same. I've saved a few caterpillars on the sidewalk in my day!
- KineticLensman 6y agoI'm with you, and for arachnids as well. Spiders always get a free pass in my house because I see them as helping to get rid of flies, etc. That said, I'm conflicted regarding the spiders with very long thin legs that primarily predate the 'good' spiders.
