| Re: The Killing Guilt
Oh what a thread! Yes I suffer from this, I used to be really bad and I too wonder if it resulted from watching older kids torture a crane fly while I felt every bit of the pain I though it must be feeling utterly unable to rescue it.... Recently I've tried to stop this as there have been a few times where I've needed to put something out of it's misery (even only by driving over it) and have failed or really struggled to do it - which only then results in more suffering for the animal. I also HAD to do something to protect my veggies from slugs and snails so have hardened myself to that, but I throw them into my small pond for the rat-tailed maggots and chronomids so at least I can feel I've done some good! |
