I accidentally squashed a bug the other day, and my vegetarian boyfriend and I had a little debate over it (I was trying to put it outside, but accidentally squished it with the tissue). I'm vegetarian, too, and try to adhere to "ahimsa" whenever possible, but I must admit that my mercy does not extend to mosquitoes. Those little bloodsuckers are asking for it! I do try to avoid them rather than seeking to kill them on purpose, but if they land on my flesh and take a bite... smack! Come on, that's just self-defense! But I have saved many a spider, beetle, and creepy-crawly bug before, and will continue to do so. My cat kills most of the pests that get in my house, anyway; she's a natural-born huntress, and there's no veganizing her! But thank you for your thoughtful post... It's nice to know someone else ponders these things. :)Erin Cathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338289737133482627noreply@blogger.com
