I'm morally against killing insects now. I absolutely hate having to kill spiders when my sister is scared of them. Yet I eat meat so I guess I'm a hyocrite.

Spiders aren't insects, but the other part of your post is more interesting.

Eating meat is an easy thing to do for most people because they don't witness the act of killing. A burger patty, a steak or whatever has no face and it tastes good, and it doesn't really cross your mind what had to happen in order for you to eat it. The people whose job it is to kill animals are legally allowed to do so, because human morales dictate that it's okay to kill animals for food purposes.

Real hypocrites are people who don't eat meat to reach a moral high ground, but don't refrain from wearing leather. For some reason that seems to be quite common in the punk scene.

LOL I guess I didn't learn anything from Peter Parker. I guess it makes sense why people are less sensitive to eating meat than killing animals.
