PCB, I wish I hadn't read those posts about the spider killings. How sad :(
I just can't kill something that I know is not harmful to me. It looms large with me that I am snuffing out a living being's life, and that it better be a good reason to do so, i.e. for my survival or that of my loved ones. Who am I to say the life of a spider is less significant than the life of a pretty butterfly, or a bat, or a bird?
I know I know... oversensitive here.
edit: Should say I did not mean to be preachy in my post. Rereading it I can see it sounding that way. I eat meat, am not against hunting (for food, can't stand 'trophy' hunting) etc. etc. I just personally cannot kill something because I don't like its species. :o
