No more pain to Insects
“When we were very young, my brother and I could not yet divorce our ardor for butterflies from our desire to flatten them in Riker mounts and hang them on the wall. We threw away our killling jar not because we wished to stop causing pain–crushing an ant or a cockroach, which presumably had a nervous system similar to a tiger swallowtail, stirred few qualms–but because, unlike Alfred Russel Wallace, we grew uneasy with the pleasure it gave us.”
Inspired by Bug Girl’s Blog.
Reminds me that I have recently emptied and threw away my mole-cricket see-through container which gives them no freedom and little food.
