I honestly, didn't want to say anything bad to anyone. Yesterday, there was about a 1 inch spider in the sink. Got a piece of paper & tried to help it out. I'm sorry, it would rip my sole out to hurt another animal. I could not live with myself. Sadly it seems mobile. `how do you make another animal, whole again? After, sigh, the difficulties of the world? I despair? I just wanted to make the world a better place, but it was forlorn. I apologise, for my failure
