Is it normal to not want to kill insects?

I honestly feel so bad about killing certain insects. I'd rather lure them out with some food. If an insect is on an object, I will slowly put the object on the ground outdoors and let it crawl off. How would you like it if a being much larger than us stepped on us and quickly ended our lives in a blink of an eye? I think it's wrong. I also believe that if you step on an insect and it doesn't die immediately, step on it again until it dies completely to end it's misery. Is this normal?!

    Normal. I always try to save the insects that wonder into my house. It's easier to put them outside than to stamp on them and then have to clean up the mess. Sometimes though I just let my cats eat them, as I consider this the natural order of things I don't feel guilty. Grossed out yes but never guilty.

    I think it's really cruel to kill something that's so puny and can't fight back. I thought I'm the only one feeling this way. :)

    I can't bring myself to kill bugs. I just leave them be.

    The other day I was walking down the sidewalk, as I tend to do. I looked down to find a bee crawling on the ground right under where my foot was about to land. I nearly fell over trying to avoid it.

    I'm the same way. They don't feel the same pain but I'm sure they feel pain so leave them alone

    Insects don't really feel pain like we do so you shouldn't feel that way.
