how do you feel when you kill little things?

[ThePirateMan]

I feel relief. As I'm mostly able to return to my sleep or enjoying the sun afterwards.

I rarely kill things unless they bother me and generaly, when I get rid of things that bother me, I feel relief.

i generally refuse to swat mozzies/moths... only because they make too much mess, and i'm lazy...

other than that, meh? insects i'll normally kill without hesitation (apart from the above examples), i'm not concerned about killing larger smaller things (ie: birds (though not intentionally, just... you know... hitting them with my car))... but it is annoying when you hit them and they just flutter about with a broken wing or something

When it annoys me (mosquito) I feel a certain satisfaction; when it doesn't really bother me (ant, spider, fly) I feel bad about it. I must say that I only kill bugs op purpose when they annoy me. Spider or flies I usually try to take outside.

Like I stepped on a bug.

I only ever feel bad if I hear the noise of them going "squish", or in the case of snails "crack".

hi people i was just wondering how you feel about killing things like spiders/bugs etc, just because i killed a spider and now i feel terrible. i think its stupid that i feel terrible but i can't help feeling that i just killed an innocent thing. i'm the type of person that will normally grab a spider and put it on a branch outside. How do you feel about killing the little things?

I used to feel pretty bad about it. Then I studied philosophy and science. Now I understand that they're basically insentient automatons.

Satisfied. Caught you, you little bastard!

Sometimes mildly grossed out, depending on the mess left behind.

A long time ago when I was sick, I had a fever dream in which a small purple wood block exploded, but it never stopped exploding, and ever since thinking about small objects has given me a slight headache. Killing small "things" on the other hand usually just results in satisfaction.

I like bugs. They make the world go 'round.
However, their ability to poison/harm me directly affects my decision in killing them.
So, if they are harmless and just walking around, I feel a little bad.
If they can take me out in two bites, I try to end them first.

 

[Arqus_Zed]

I don't kill spiders.

I do kill mosquitoes and flies.
However, I feel justified in doing so: Mosquitoes steal my blood and flies crap on my stuff. It's simple retribution. Granted, it's a pretty high price to pay for what is essentially just petty theft and public pooping, but, alas, such is the law of the house! *chin up dramatic pose*

 

[Zacharious-khan]

like i should stop killing my pikmin

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

I feel horrible about it.

I don't like to kill things, but I don't really feel any different when I kill little bugs, mainly because I (as well as others) have done it all our lives.

It's like how a killer gets used to killing people after he's done it for the nth time.

 

[LCP]

I'm fine with burning ants with gasoline. Roaches too.

But spiders, or lizards that find their way into my home, I put outside.

 

[Latinidiot]

If a little thing dies because of me, no problem. If I tace action with the sole purpose of getting it to die I feel a bit guilty. Unless it's a FUCKING wasp. I HATE those things. When on vacation in italy THose pests were the size of a game boy colour casette and I slew them all with righteous fury.

I have no problem with it. They aren't sentient, so if they get in my way, i crush them. The only thing I regret about doing so is the stain on my wall/floor/ceiling.

 

[Polyg0n]

If they are bloodsucking bugs then I don't really think about it, but intetionally killing anything else makes me feel bad for some reason.
