someone wants to buy that "Bug a salt" gun and is wondering if it's morally wrong to kill flies? kill them....they have a 24 hour lifespan anyway. hatch, eat, fuck, shit, die. that's the life of a housefly.

I usually only spare the really big ones. Not because I am scared to kill them, or even empathy really, but out of respect for a cool creature.

Is it wrong to kill a fly.... And then a bunch of you said yes.... A bunch of weak balls of empathy you people are. How did humans become so big of pussies?
Kill the fucking fly. Kill it with a lighter and a spray can if you want.

I like spiders because they catch smaller little shits in the house. I always avoid killing spiders. Flies and ants can go get fucked though.

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 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.
