Ok,
Here's a bit to debate. Your problem involved a potentially deadly
arachnid. You killed it. Yet you feel bad about it.
Now when we are looking at the way that the animal kingdom breaks down,
didn't you have the right to self defense against the aforementioned creepy
crawly? Were you not defending yourself and your roomy? As humans are we
not superior than the animals and bugs that we come in to contact with, and
does that give us a right to kill them, or are there only situations were it
is ok?
I will withhold my opinion until further in the debate. Just looking to
see where people stand.
