Have You Ever Felt Bad About Squishing a Bug?

Last summer, I was painting up under a shelf and I shooed a spider away, but it kept coming back. I tried to slide it across the floor with a paint stick, but ended up popping it by accident. I felt SOOOO bad.
Mind you, I did pest control for about a year, and didn't feel too horrible about doing my job.

I never kill insects.
All my life I have never killed an ant or a fly or anything else living existing.
When I see a spider in the house, I gently move it in the garden.
The same is with everything.
I NEVER KILL.

college101	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 6:36PM Yeah I feel guilty, because it is a life. I mean most humans have no problem killing anything that is in their way. How would they feel if that was them or a loved one? They would be sat there crying asking god why. A life big or small is a life, and if I can help it I will go around them or put them outside (I also make others go around them). Rated: +4Vote for this!

CaptainHotPantsPi card	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 6:26PM Yep, it happens often but I'm also too selfish to be brave enough to pick it up and put it back outside, so squish it usually goes! Rated: +2Vote for this!
edgargeorge	Posted Nov 7th, 2009 at 6:26PM I am happy to co-exist with bugs as long as they don't annoy me. If they sting, bite, buzz incessantly around my face, dive bomb me, etc -- I have no problem taking them out. Rated: +2Vote for this!
