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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No, it's ok to kill a few creatures here and there as long as you aren't hurting the whole fly population too much. Circle of life

House flies are the reincarnated spirits of your dead ancestors desperately trying to warn you of the dangers in masturbation. They are also trying to warn you that the number of flies you kill in life is the number of times you reincarnate as a fly after death.
Best to just crush them and go about your day. Ancestors trying to guilt trip us, bunch of buzz kills.
Or... Are we the buzz kills?

Imagine there is a fly trapped in your house, frantically trying to get out. All this poor, scared fly wants is to be outdoors again living it's life freely but it is trapped in this terrifying, incomprehensible torment that is your home.
Then you come along and see the fly struggling, so you open the window a crack and let it go free. The fly doesn't know you exist. The fly doesn't know you helped it. All the fly knows is that everything is okay now. The fear has passed it can return to nature and enjoy the rest of it's life.
The fly doesn't have a complex enough brain to ask for help. Nor does it have a complex enough brain to thank you for your assistance. It does however know that it no longer has to be scared, that it is now happy.
Suppose that someday you find yourself in a position like the fly. That you're feeling trapped, with no way out. Maybe an unseen hand will help you back to safety, even if you can't understand how or why it helped you.

I try not to kill any bug, but sometimes I do without thinking and then feel bad for a bit afterwards, it's just a respect for life type thing for me.
I mean if there were termites destroying a home, I would gas their asses no doubt.

The big question is: do WE do what we appear to do, or is it the universe doing it through us? Are we mere puppets or are we like Pinocchio with input of our own?
The universe is ruled supremely by Cause & Effect. What we consider motivation too may be entirely given in by external causes, in fact the entire universe may be the pump behind every single thing that happens.

So you are saying not to kill something unless it tries killing you?
But then doesnt that mean we should let animals like tigers or lions eat us?

Thats what we experience sometimes with psychosis indeed, that we are behind the play wheel of life while our higher-up, the subconscious, our inner big brother, is doing the factual driving.
I think you experienced this too.

House flies are not trying to get out. The human home is a fantastic source of clean water and pure sugar. They are desperately trying to get in.
Next time you go camping, take note of how easy it might be to kill a wild fly. Much easier. They have no need of the reflexes needed to avoid smacking hands, just the occasional tongue of a frog. House flies are specialists. Evolved to take the risk of death at human hands for sugar that's practically already digested for them.

One of my exes would seriously get pissed off at me whenever I killed a bug or a spider in the home. He always insisted on picking it up and putting it outside. He would actually feel EMPATHY for a fucking spider. 
Like "Bro I hate to break it to you, but you should become a vegan, because it's clear that you can't handle animals dying in any way shape or form."
This is exactly why I believe that people should be forced to occasionally slaughter animals themselves. If you can't kill an animal yourself, you have no business eating meat.

I let spiders live. If it's a black widow or brown recluse, I'll catch it and let it outside. Most other spiders don't bother me inside.
In the early spring lady bugs infest everything and get in the house easily. I let them live too though, as they eat smaller cockroaches, mites and bed bugs.

One time I saw one of those fuckers crawling across my floor so I went to smack him with a rolled-up magazine
I missed and he took off like a fucking Lamborghini, skittered across the kitchen and disappeared through a crack in the wall
I did not sleep well for the rest of the night

The only thing worse than house centipedes is human centipedes.

When it comes to biting insects that are attacking me, they're all fair game. A regular house fly buzzing around or something like that I don't even pay any mind to them.

That's probably the one creature I'm afraid of, is those huge centipedes. They look disgusting, like worms with thousands of legs, like a creature from the movie Alien. There's some places in China where you can find centipedes that are a foot long, apparently if you try to stomp on one the other half starts crawling up your foot. OMG I'D DIE!!!!!

Isn't it the opposite? Don't people usually let the babies survive, give them a chance to grow in the wild, and kill the adults?

i don;t think it really matters.. although i suppose it wouldn't hurt to let a bug live out of respect for life..
i'd like to believe that the more you kill something, the more it reproduces out of survival.. like that's why there are so many cockroaches cuz they are probably the most hunted down bug on the planet.. so if u were to let a roach live then it might have like a 100 babies instead of like 200 or so, in other words it;ll settle, die of old age, pass down the knowledge to their offspring, etc., and not reproduce so much..

There's probably some truth to that, especially for humans. Part of the reason people used to have 10, 20 children back in the day is because so many kids died from natural causes and disease back in the day. So you might have 5 children, but you'd probably also have 4 deceased children somewhere along the way.
But for animals, I'm not so sure. It probably depends on the species. I just say this because there are only like a dozen pandas in the world, and yet they are incapable of reproducing.

If we didnt kill insects theur population would get very high because they reproduce so fast. We are supposed to kill them to reduce our chance of being fucked over by them. Like some spread disease and eat our houses. They are pests. We are competing for survival just like them. We shouldnt let them win.

Naw not for me. Little spiders are a dime a dozen. A big wolf spider as wide as my fist is a sight to behold.

I agree, I kill all bugs that I see in my house. The only ones I let go are beneficial spiders, spiders that eat other pests, like daddy long legs.

I keep constrictor snakes around for the same reason, because they kill pests. Like mice, rats, and children.

You leave them loose around your house? 
I'm talking about the children.

I had a friend in highschool who let his ferrets run around his house freely. It was cool but really nasty. They would steal stup and put it insude the couch and live down there. There was like 15 mouldy bagels one time. And a door matt, a remote control and a blanket.
Every once in a while they would shit in the corner.
