Is it "wrong" to kill flies

Just curious
-------------------- Something there is mysteriously formed, Existing before Heaven and Earth, Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging, All-pervading, unfailing, I do not know its name; I call it tao. If forced to give it a name, I call it Great (ta). Being great, it flows out; Flowing out means far-reaching; Being far-reaching, it is said to return. It's just a shot away..

The question is does it hurt you?
I eat meat and it's a bit of a bad vibe to see the animal, then eat it after slaughter. But I don't eat animals that I would cuddle in bed with. So it doesn't hurt me much, as I do enjoy good healthy food.

They'll surely have no problem having their larva decompose our dead flesh.

It's not bad to kill flies or other small and buzzing insects. I hate when I hear that fucking buzz in my ear.

Imo there is nothing wrong with eating meat. We are animals competing for nutrients.
The problem is that there are factory farms that torture animals and supporting those businesses is wrong imo.

I help raise goats. Working on the start of the last two goats slaughtered, out of five total. They have a great life at our place.
Pig and bird farms are probably the worst. I think things will get better since mass antibiotic use is illegal now.
Conscious farming is becoming more vogue. People interested in hobby farming. Too bad Sanders didn't get the nomination. Bernie was a bit more wise about small farms.

Not really, no. Bugs reproduce by the dozens/hundreds for a reason. The individuals don't matter so much as the survival of 'hive' itself.

Unforgivably wrong, damningly thoughtless.
I actually just caught a fly and brought it outside about an hour ago. I've done my good deed for the day, feeling pretty good.

Naw but it is wrong to kill spiders. They are the good ones.
What I wonder: do earthworms feel pain?

My rule of thumb is if it's not trying to eat me, and I'm not trying to eat it, then I've no place to kill it.
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

It's funny because when I have to powerwash them out of dirt that I am trying to remove I feel bad, but when I intentionally dig them out of the ground and put them on a hook to hopefully be eaten by a fish it doesn't really bother me.

What about pests? Would you introduce a predator and let them do the killing for you? Is it any less morally acceptable to delegate your killings?
ie: releasing lady bugs into the garden.

Would you then eat said fish? If so, sounds like part of the process of eating 'it'.
One of my best friends is a sport fisherman, don't get it at all, but fishing to eat is a beautiful thing.

Most of the time I let them go. Occasionally I will eat a few.

One night I found about 9 husky flies just chilling around a lamp in my hallway.
Killed them all. I guess you could say I'm a bad ass.

A spider would maul you and eat you alive if it was big enough to do so
That said they are good for the ecosystem but ehh I wouldn't call them the good guys
