killing bugs/insects?

is killing bugs/insects wrong?

I really feel bad when I have to kill insects, I usually kill them when they some times come in my room, but I do feel bad. after all, they are living creatures who are just trying to live

i avoid it. if it gotta kill one then i gotta do it but usually ill go out of my way to not do that.

same here. i usually catch them in jars and take them away, sometimes far away. we get poisonous spiders here and bullants, about an inch and half long. i occasionally kill one if it is getting into my clothes or blankets but don't like to.
when snakes get into house i chase them out.

lol here in canada we have no such dangerous insects/animals. back in pakistan/saudi arabia it was a different story though, I hated the house lizards there and so many other insects

lol, i have to check my feet every time i come in from the garden, as we have leeches too and i like going bare foot. the other day a snake was sitting up ready to attack, if i had not noticed it in time.
lizards are fine but mozzies get short shrift...splat!!!!

i think you are only allowed to kill it if you are sure that it will seriously harm you. i read somewhere once that a bug stinging was only a form of defense mechanism. when it feels threatened, it will bite you to protect it's self. i am assuming it's the same for animals. or actually, animals will attack you if you invade their territory...or something like that.
