Kill a spider...then feel the guilt...


Recommended Posts

how many people here kill spiders and such like as opposed to catch them n throw them out?

i'm just curious as i saw crawling around in the bath last nite when i went in the bathroom, it was huuuge n scared me so, acting on impulse, i killed it :(

(my weapon of choice turned out to be the tropical scented bleach) but then i had to sit there while i wriggled around n died. so now i need a bath and theres a dead body in there that i'm scared to do owt with and thats making me feel guilty as hell.....

I tend not to kill them because i think they perform a valuable function witihin a house (they won't eat your food, but will eat things that do). However, I have no moral qualms about killing them. As far as we know, they have no concept of self and are probably not even sensate beings except on a very primitive level.

Killing it has only made things worse then, because you're still scared, and now feeling guilty too. It's not nice to witness the suffering or death of any living thing whose only crime is existing. You wanted the spider out of your house, so save yourself the guilt and just catch it in a glass next time :)
