Am I a Bitch for Killing Bugs?

That potato bug would squash you and everyone you love if he had the chance. No mercy. No prisoners.

I also feel bad when I kill bugs for some reason. Or when my buddies just mercilessly murder one, I feel bad. It's really weird. If the things all up in my shit I kill it, if I'm in danger. If I'm really drunk I go on bug killing sprees.

I think a lot of people are the same way about it, eating chicken sandwiches is different. Your not going to stop people from killing chickens and making chicken sandwiches. You don't kill the chicken. I'm sure if panda did, he'd feel bad. It can be helped to not kill a bug. I really don't do it that often

Think about how nature treats bugs. They will most likely be food for something else, often eaten alive or injected with poison which liquefies their insides. If they are lucky they will live long enough to starve or freeze to death. Of all the ways bugs can and will die, your shoe is one of the most humane.

This ... is ... SPORTO! cn

I personally think it has a lot to do with instinct. For thousands of years humans have been killing bugs that invade our living space.

The sensation of getting the "creepy crawlies" is our brains way of saying "I don't like this, get rid of it"

If I met someone who collected bugs (in cages, dead etc.) I would just think they are truly fascinated with them, and find them interesting.

If I met someone who knowingly let bugs freely live in their home without killing/moving them, I would think they have a few screws loose.

Killing bugs dont make ypu a "bitch." Getting punked in prison does.

Hear me out..

I actually feel bad for killing bugs..

I realize this is quite a weird opinion to hold, because, fuck bugs. Who cares?

But everytime I smash one, like I just did with a potato bug in my bathroom, I feel fucking terrible..

The bug didn't end up there on purpose, it didn't know it was invading someones household, it had no clue. Futhermore, it had no idea it was doing something wrong or right, as far as I know, bugs have no concept of such things..

So isn't it automatically wrong for me to kill it?

One moment it's alive and well, the very next moment it's a smudge on the bottom of my shoe..

What if it had higher intelligence I just never detected?

I seriously feel like an asshole..

Wouldn't the right thing to do be to capture it and let it go outside my house, unharmed?


Same goes with spiders, beetles, moths, etc.. they have no clue wtf they're doing, and even if they did it wouldn't be right to just execute them on sight...

potato bugs can bite the living fuck out of you, their jaws are made for gnawing on tough roots and tubers. kill that bastard, pick up the corpse with toilet paper, throw it in the crapper and PISS ALL OVER IT before you flush it out to sea.

unless you mean pillbugs. those things are harmless.

Sometimes I like to head to the basement with some pliers, a lighter, and some razor blades.

Thinking about killing bugs, enjoying killing bugs and then feel remorse for killing the bug?


Your in for a treat if you are a gardener.

I kill whatever I want to eat or whatever can hurt me (even if it's just a little sting or bite).. Anything else, I leave alone.

And I am thankful for the chickens that have to be fed till deformity for my chicken nuggets. MMMmmmmmmm

I generally move the less annoying ones out, but spiders, ants, and flies i normally kill to reduce the population and hedge further breading near my home lol.

I hate animal rights activists who are appalled at the idea of killing a furry, even if you are doing it for food, but scoff at the idea of treating bugs with any measure of decency. personally i don't feel that cuteness is a justifiable quality to base life and death on.
