Hmmm.. It makes me think. I'm actually okay with killing bugs and spiders, I do it all the time or I let someone else pick them up and take care of it..
But I'm not okay with killing mammals, like mouses, rats or bigger animals.. Why is that? A lot of my friends think the same about it. Why is it okay to kill bugs and spiders? But not mammals?
First of all, it is not okay to kill bugs and spiders,( more precisely insects and arachnids ) UNLESS they are an exotic and invasive specie, OR are detrimental to our survival ( either directly or indirectly ), OR are parasitic to Humans, OR are killed accidently.
Secondly, most people that have an aversion to killing larger animals, is usually due to a closer genetic affinity to them. For instance, mice have approximately 80 per cent genetic content as we do.
Please note: The plural of mouse is mice.
Is it normal that I killed the Moth?
