Anyone else feel bad when they kill a bug, insect, etc?

This is something very complicated... i could write a book,it has to do with society, and the superiority complex that most humans have, but to make the long story short in my opinion if someone considers a bug's (or any living being) life ''meaningless'' then a human's life should be no different for you, but people is so fucked up man... sometimes it's just scary what they value, and how they compare and/or relate some things, i don't want to start a rant because i'm not going to stop so this is it. All of that becomes 100x worse if such person is religious.

I disagree. Killing other organisms doesn't automatically mean we think their life is meaningless. Killing other organisms is an evil necessary in my opinion.In the name of learning anyway.

You say "any living thing" ... really? I work in a lab 4 days a week growing, burning staining bacteria, ultimately killing them in the end? Does that make me a bad person? Like I said in a previous  post. Colleges and I killed countless lab mice... by cervical  dislocation - detaching the spine from the brain. Does that make me a bad person? I can tell you one thing though. I don't think their lives were meaningless. 

 

The real world's a scary thing.
