    that can be a strange one ... I will happily go shoot a deer or goat or whatever for food or do a bit of pest culling (possum etc) but I value life enough that I will catch any bugs in the house and let them go outside (spiders, mantis, moths etc) because I feel bad squishing them .

    except flies or roaches ..... hate those little buggers ...

    Same here ill never kill a spider(except white tail)or what I regard as a useful insect but will take a deers life no problems.I never thank the deer for "giving me its life".Its clear it didn't want to die for me.
