Oh my God there's a spider on the windowsill. I want to kill it, but it didn't do anything I wouldn't have done in it's place. But is that even a meaningful statement? Maybe it's just a mechanism not a mind. or are all brains just on a spectrum? Oh no, what if they are? Then I can't kill it.I can't have it's death on my conscience haunting me forever, day or night, sleep or wake. soon... See the spider, kitty? Do whatever comes to mind.
The only spiders I kill in and around my house are black widows and brown recluses. Anything else lives. On the other hand all snakes die. Sorry gotta draw the line somewhere. I don’t trust anything that moves without the benefit of legs and feet or arms and hands.
