I have to admit, it always kind of upsets me when I hear people gleefully talking about how they squished this or that. Whether it's a tiny one like a bug or a huge one like a whale, it is still a life. Now don't think I'm comparing bugs to whales, I'm not, I know there are FAR more insects and spiders and that the amount people kill when they come across them in their house will do nothing to dent the population. What I AM saying is it is just as much of a life. I don't think I'll ever enjoy killing anything. I will kill things when I need to, but I will never feel any sense of happiness over it. If it has to be done, it has to be done. I just don't like it when people laugh and seem to feel such a pride that they just killed some creature they hated/feared.
No offense meant to anyone of course, just my personal feelings and I know they would be considered odd by many :p
Jessica, I agree with every word!!
