Troll or just Stupid?
I can't tell anymore but I am leaning toward just stupid. But only because certain other members of the board have not come along to chide us for our lack of understanding and welcome.

How do you know that tomatoes don't scream every time you cut them?? Carrots, when you pull off the stems? Onions when you dice them?I do this all the time and I never heard them scream, not once, never.

And he didn't even get to see my wise guy helpful assistance with his effort to help bugs everywhere.

He doesn't love us anymore.

Guess I better throw out those antibiotics for my bronchial infection...

"However, the fact that we might run over someone with our car by accident does not imply that it is ok to run them over on purpose."
Humans don't tend tp drink people's blood and spread disease the way mosquitoes do.
People tend not to attach to other people and become bloated sacks of blood spreading Lyme Disease like deer ticks do.
People tend not to spread malaria.
People tend not to be carriers of BUBONIC PLAGUE.
So when insects quit cavorting with disease, I will cessate my efforts to EXTINCT them.

"Virii and bacteria should be protected from specie-ist bigotry!" Actually, I think they should be contained at the DU where they can all be exterminated protected at once. It can be a virus and bacteria sanctuary (or would that be overkill?).

Yes!
They will be showing how they CARE for everything while harboring the innocent virii and bacterium.

I hit a huge, state-sized bug in Montana (Flathead Valley) this summer....Huge revolting SPLAT on the windshield, and a lot of bug-glop on my arm.
The bug was later indentified as a DUmmie of the insect world by a crack team of Bug Experts from Montana State University.

It is a common error to equate "sensate" with "conscious".
An entity may feel pain without being conscious that it is an entity which can feel pain, or even being conscious of feeling pain.
Cats, dogs, chimps and such may be dimly conscious. Rabbits - I doubt it. Bugs and weeds - never. There just isn't enough "there" there to achieve consciousness.

Why not open your home to shelter them until they are adopted? I'm sure people all over the country would be glad to send you any insects they no longer want as pets.

With regards to animal rights, the distinguishing characteristic between plants and animals is that animals possess consciousness, whereas plants do not.In *my* world, plants do, trolls don't.
