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.

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

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!

what do you mean?
insects are animals!
loads of other animals act on instinct, in fact very few animals make conscious decisions!
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

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

Everyones probably killed a million bugs unintentionally.

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.......

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.

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.

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.
