I can't even kill bugs. I will rescue them if they are drowning.


I thought I was the only person who did this.I could spend hours after a rainy day pulling worms out of puddles and picking bugs out of the swimming pool and laying them on the edge to dry out.When I was in third grade I once tried to fight a boy because he was stepping on ant hills.About the same age I accidentally killed a bug that I thought was "stuck" in a tree.I pulled on it and it came apart....oops.I found out later,reading about insects,that it had been laying eggs.Now I try and be careful about playing "god".I have carried a lot of bugs outside my apartments through the years.....but will kill ticks,fleas,roaches,misquettos,maggots, flies and even ants in my apartment.I dont like sharing space with these critters so I am not a great Buddhist.


I do the same thing! It bothers me to see any animal in pain. I'll even flip flies over in my bathroom when they get stuck upside down. I hate the creatures, but I hate killing them more. I won't even kill bugs inside the house. I adopt the spiders who live here, I transport the crickets and ladybugs back outside, and I jump on my bed and scream when I see a roach (and they don't really come up here, so yay! It was a problem down in the South). I don't particularly mind people getting hurt, but I hate when animals are. :? That might not be the best sign.

I had a (very psychotic) ex who used to do the same things, as an adult. She was so sweet to any animals, but shared my hatred of humanity.

LOL you know I thought you meant pulling them out to dry them out (as in they dessicate)! I thought "How is that sweet?"
