Ya well, I used to burn ants with a magnifying glass. So what ya got to say about that?
Totally different. Little boys burn ants with magnifying glasses because they’re fascinated by how the sun and magnifying glass work. The ant doesn’t show any signs/sounds of pain comparable to a human or other sentient creature, and no humans are emotionally devastated by the “murder” of the ant. It’s not something I’d encourage a kid to do, but it’s definitely not a sign of any psychological problems.
Nothing. What’s the big deal?
