[KKBL]

Today in my music class a bee came in and it was on the window and suddenly the two girls sitting beside the window and got up and i was like "its only a bee leave it alone" then one of the girls asked if they could kill it and the teacher said 2i dont care with you do with it" then she picked up a boox and killled the bee and there was honey and bee bits all over the window and i was only one botherd about it knowone else cared that she actualy killed an animal!Do you think People should be allowed to kill insects??

[XxShortyxX]

Lol awww, poor Bee :bigsmile:

My brother's Girl Friend hate it when anypne kills, Spiders, Bee's, Fly's basicly anything that breathes lol

Do I think people should kill insects, yes, if they are in your house.

[Spike]

I think people should be allowed to kill insects because they are horrible and disgusting, i hate them.

[Shaun]

Hate insects, so yes.

Humans = superior :bigsmile:

[supernoodles!]

LOL. if only honey was that easy to get !!

This reminds me of a time years ago when there was a wasp on the window and the teacher tried to squash it, but put the book straight through the window!!

I was always taught that it was ok to kill wasps but not bees, but didn't really see the logic in that~ well not in terms of the life anyway.

[Bells]

I try not to, but then when I do I don't feel really guilty because it's so easy to step on an ant or something similar.
When it comes to insects I'm not particularly fond of though, I tend to want to take them outside rather than kill them - or, in the case of big spiders - (even though they're not insects), I get my mum to do it as she isn't afraid of spiders of any size in the slightest. But I usually end up killing them.

I don't really see the point in most of them. Sure, there's all the food chain business involved but they get in the way too much... :hugesmile:

[supernoodles!]

well i hate moths with a passion
and i diddnt used to mind spiders but one night i was sat watching bb8 with my back turned away from my bed and when i turned round there was the biggest spider i have ever seen in my ENTIRE! life in the fold in my pj top on my bed!I will never get over it EVER!I diddnt dare go to bed even though my dad killed it.
Oh and just last friday i was on the laptop and i turned round and an equally as huge one ran right past me and under my bed!So now I hate all spiders with a passion and they should all just die and leave me alone!

[CassetteFinger]

Not bees no one should kill bees if it was a wasp it would be a whole different situation bees are useful things that make honey and are fat fluffy things that only stink once when scared wasps are pointless skinny scaly things which stings you as many times as they like.

[Wasted]

I hate bees and wasps. The sight of them repulses me and they creep me out. I'm certainly not against killing them! But I don't mind any other insects or bugs, but I don't feel strongly about them being killed neither.

[Harry!]

insects are useful, for example bees produce Honey and spiders do kill fly's you know!

[Conor]

I don't like them being killed, just think, how would you like it if we were the insects size, and they were our size. They'd trap us in tubs and boxes and squash us simply because they don't like us, or are afraid of us. How can you be afraid or annoyed by something so small. If there's a person you don't like, or are scared of, I'm sure no-one gets a news paper out and squashes them!

i agree

[Captain.Remy]

I've killed them when I was a child, and even now when they annoy me.They are only insects.

[Kristen]

Once there was a cockroach on my kitchen floor and I got the broom and was going to squash it but I just couldn't bring myself to kill it.

You obviously won't go to prison for killing an insect and it is up to an individual whether they kill them or not.

That's a silly point [sorry to sound rude, but it is lol]. We never will be and never have been the size of an insect and thus it is impossible to imagine being an insect, as it'll never happen.

And I'd love to squash some people if I had the physical capability to do it, but ignoring them does a treat!

[Billy]

Well Conor, the borrowers were that size and they were OK!!!!!

[Shaun]

*giggles*

Sorry, it's just every time you post Billy I imagine Kimberley saying it with that face in your avatar :tongue:

[Billy]

Leave Kim alone!!!!!!!!

People are scared of insects for many different reasons - movement, appearance, inherited fear (parents hate them etc.) and I'm sure there are others.

I'm scared of daddy long legs, they are very creepy in the way they seem to float everywhere, and they love to fly around rapidly which scares me.

Your point about people we don't like is a redundant one - you can't squash a person with a newspaper. However, the equivalent would be getting into a fight with someone, you don't like them so you try to hurt them.

That's an excellent point. Contrary to what some may say. People kill insects usually because they are afraid of them in some way. Says a lot for human courage.....:bigsmile:

Nothing should be killed for the sake of it. Insects or not. If some insect poses a danger or health hazzard then to kill is justified. To kill just because it is there and somehow makes a giant human feel superior to other life forms then that is just plain silly and I might add quite cowardly.....

That's probably what insects think about humans too and who could blame them.....

Humans are the insects of the universe. want to over run everything and destroy everything for their own selfish needs. Including themselves and their very environment they need to live in.......

I don't kill insects, to Me Their just like animals. I have the biggest fear of spiders but I still don't kill Them! xx

Insects live by instinct, they dont have personalitys like animals or humans so its all good:thumbs:

How do you know that...!!! Just an assumtion about other life forms that may or may not be true.......

I would be interested if a science reports some where backs up your claim. A link please I assume you have one.....

An insect is a sub division of the animal kingdom just like mammals and amphibians.

The only ones I kill are flies and spiders which I'm too scared to shift :tongue: Flies are just dirty and if it refuses to go out of the door or the window then it has to die. I'm border OCD when it comes to flies and hygiene. Spiders I try to shift if I can, if not then I kill them but I try not to. Others I just try to get out.

[KawaiiSakura1]

I don't kill moths and daddy long legs because they are cute but one time i killed a spider by accident i got upset i have to kill ants because they invade our kitchen 100s at a time you can't let ants out the window.

[rayheartbliss]

i dont like killing moths...there too big.....

[Marc]

I don't agree with killing bee's they help pollinated and they are fine. but like wasps I can kill, flies, moths. just cos they are annoying and dirty. We are big and strong! they are small and weak!

even dogs act on instinct! Sure, if they acted on instinct then a dog would chase a cat (wether or not it had been trained)
Dogs and cats can be trained to live side by side, therefore not acting on instinct

they are but their instinct is being adapted to their favour
they understand that they will be treated if they dont attack a cat, using your example, but thats all they know!
theyre not doing it to be nice or anything else

[bigbr0ther]

It's amazing how humans will readily destroy the live of an individual of another species just to meet our most extravagant and selfish desires....

[Fom]

I would kill instincts... but I always feel guilty if I kill a spider... sometimes i might begin to drown it in the sink then get really guilty so I save it... then get creeped out so i squash it then flush it.

And to answer the above, I dont know what world your in but my cats chase dogs not the other way round :joker:

[melanie]

Everyones probably killed a million bugs unintentionally.

[bananarama]

One should only kill if there is a need......Killing something just because it is there to me is a sign of complete lack of intellect and arrogance towards nature.......

[Sam]

Yeah, I suppose it could be called selfish, but I have a strong phobia of buzzing insects around me... especially if they fly in through a window and they won't seem to go back out. Also if it's at night, I have a fear of being asleep and insects flying around. :laugh2:

Having said that, most insects I'd just leave be, it's only the really buzzy ones that annoy me.

If someone has a phobia then that's understandable. Doesn't make it right but understandable.....

Thank you. I don't understand why on the fur thread everyone's saying how awful it is to kill just to have something to wear, yet here everyone's saying quite casually "Yes, I kill insects..." for no reason at all.

[baroquepop]

I'm shocked. You should NEVER kill bees. They are mankind's most vital friend.

Pasted from the internet:

Albert Einstein said: "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more men!" He wasn't an entomologist, but entomologists around today agree that the sudden and mysterious disappearance of bees from their hives poses serious problems!

Bits and pieces of information about farmers concerns for bee disappearance (or colony collapse disorder) in 24 states around the U.S. have bubbled up to the surface, over the last year and a half, but hardly any large-scale media attention has been drawn to this potentially serious problem. Recently bees have gone missing from hives around Europe as well. The East Coast of the U.S. is reporting a 70% loss in commercial bee hive habitation, the West Coast 60%; these figures are staggering.
