I always move bugs and spiders outside unless they are a threat to me, example is a mosquito  or a brown recluse spider. Thankfully, I don't have any recluses in my house but they are very common where I live.

Edit : I would feel bad if I killed the moth for money. Maybe that's a flaw, but it's just the way I feel.:sad:

Moths suck.  If killing a moth is immoral then I am already doomed to hades.  So I'll take the $100 I guess at this point.

No. I refuse to do even this so I certainly wouldn't add the further immorality of being paid for it.

I have a strict criteria for killing, and it involves eating.




Don't you use money to eat?
Personally, I don't find a reason not to do it. I'm not some holy man living a holy life separate from the material world. I would draw the line somewhere in the reptiles and amphibians, maybe some insects if they are beautiful and not complete pests.

Why would you use money to eat, like do you wrap your food in a dollar bill and lick it off of it? gross :highdog:

I try to do the same, but I don't always end up making the compassionate decision. 

For example, I was taking the sheets off of my bed one day, and out falls this big ass recluse from where I had the sheet tucked under the mattress...just hangin' out in there.  I swear it was at least 2 inches across, and I was too shocked to help it outside. 

They're typically pretty small spiders, but maybe they can grow larger, and even live longer indoors?  They wouldn't have any predators in there aside from an occasional re-headed centipede.

Hello. I work in food manufacturing  factory. We have strict and stringent pest protocol. I moved a wooden pallet today and a spider fell out of a crack. my first instinct was to kill it to remove the risk of it contaminating the product but i was instantly stopped with the moral issue that i'm ending that animal's life for a financial reason/benefit. I ended up getting some paper towel, picking it up and letting it go out side.

I get that not everyone is too fond of spiders. My particular situation involved a spider but this is about bugs in general, and i think months are a very neutral non threatening  embodiment of said group which is why i've chosen them as the example.
100 bucks??? HAHAHA i would do that shit for free if you asked me


Here is the question:

If for some non threatening reason there is a moth in front of you and someone with 100% legitimacy says they'll give you $100 to squish and kill the moth, would you do it?




For me personally if a bug is pissing me off i'll kill it without a second thought. If someone were to offer money however it becomes a transaction and i, i don't think i could do it under those superficial circumstances. I've been thinking about this all day and if an absurd amount of money were offered i'd probably say yes but i'd feel so guilty that i'd donate all of it to charity..

ill kill flies by trapping them in a glass jar and stuffing a papertowl in there and lighting it on fire. I hate most bugs. I don't like to kill ladybugs or mantis' or something that is cool or cute. I wont kill a butterfly either but for $100 u would see me be the richest man in the world haha

speaking of letting spiders outdoors, I read once that outdoor spiders dont do well indoors and indoor spiders dont do well outdoors, I dont know how true that is, but it stuck with me

That could be true. Would u just let that spider stay in your house though just so u don't have to feel bad about killing it? i say no. And it could probably get in your house again anyway

Asante said:
I'm not saying insects don't have feelings, I think they do, but being squashed is a good way to go if you're a moth, and there's a conceivable higher purpose that outweighs the swift merciful death of a moth.

In some places they eat dogs and cats, and why should I emphathize more with a dog or cat than with a pig? Pigs are much more psychologically complex, just less suitable to pet in your lap.

I believe in sacrifice for the greater good. Most often, it is me self sacrificing for a greater good outside of myself in that equasion.

See this beautiful red rooster?





While my best friend was holding him I took his head into my hand and at once severed his neck, so we could eat him at Christmas.

If you can't bring yourself to do that you have no business eating meat.

Its murder, absolutely, just like your leather belt and shoes.

It was a very unpleasant affair, to slaughter the rooster. The amount of meat I eat has diminished since as i lean stronger and stronger towards vegetarianism.




I only used cat or dog as an example because people in the west tend to think of killing them as untenable but will still eat cattle or pigs without thinking of it.
I don't eat meat mainly because factory farming in the US of course dairy products can still cause a lot of brutality to the animals with our modern methods even just vegetables many small rodents are killed in planting and harvest many insects also. If it was the only option and I was starving I would probably have to eat meat but as long as I have the option I will not intentionally kill/harm or have it done on my behalf knowingly.

Partly because I wouldn't want this done to me and I have no idea how this being ended up here and that being ended up there. The other part being selfish based on the idea of not generating bad kamma if that's not total make believe. Even if that's not quite real at least in this life generating impressions of killing and violence in the neural pathways probably isn't the greatest for achieving some deep tranquility nor is eating meat while in your inmost self thinking you probably shouldn't be doing it which is why I quit. Couldn't stop thinking that a being died probably in misery and horrible conditions in a painful and traumatic death just so I could enjoy a short lasting mouth pleasue not even for survival.

Totally Agree with Asante there about the killing.
We are too distanced from the animals that end up on our plate.
Obviously. It's a problem similar to being so distanced from the effects of our consumerism culture and scale of materialism.
