Do you think it's just as wrong to kill insects as it is animals?

I don't think it's wrong, they are pests.

I confess to killing spiders (vacuuming them/ hairspraying them) or I get my dad to do the dirty work for me

I don't think it's wrong either but what about killing them for fun

hmm, I used to drown snails in water for fun.

God I sound like a sick *******

Hair spraying spiders, drowning snails... Ever tried pouring salt on a slug? What about holding a kitten forcefully over a water bath then drowning it? Or maybe you'd like to pull the fingernails out of kids you kidnap.

Hypothetically speaking of course

I feel like it depends how conscious you perceive a creature to be (suggesting how much pain it would feel) which isn't a very easy thing to do, and you would also want to take into account how "necessary" it is to kill the insect, for example in the case of animal testing on insects (whether that be for medical or non-medical reasons. I'm against non-medical and think medical should be minimal for all animals), or if you have an insect in your house- I always prefer to let them out rather than kill them.

Lol I used to torture insects when I was young. I was bored kid and I used to pretend I was the king of my backgarden. Many summer hours spent removing legs of woodlice with a screwdriver and seeing how long they could last with half a body making mazes out of salt and putting slugs in the middle of the maze. Capturing moths and butterflies and taking off their wings (i named them "butterwalks" haha) I eventually moved up to things like frogs, drowning them, dissecting, I even managed to decapitate one with nothing but a pint glass!

I soon realised that killing for fun was wrong (well really after my parents found out and gave me a *******ing )

Childhood eh

Why are you guys so scared of killing spiders? I throw my mofo slippers and run the hell out of the room.

omg, I have for sure tried the salt on slug and watched how the salt devours the slug.

I dislike cats but I tolerate kittens, however I wish I could do something about irritating pigeons

do u think it's wrong to kill insects? do u think it's wrong to kill animals? is there a difference between killing an insect and killing an animal? personally i don't see a difference

and i dont mean to imply by the thread title that it is wrong to kill animals as it is opinion (not mine just thought it sound good) if you think it's not wrong then feel free to explain
