Let's face the sad truth here. Some people are just dumb and really do feel bad about killing an insect that would happily suck every drop of blood from your body and infect your with diseases without remorse. It's a BUG. That's what bugs do! What I do is kill them every single chance I get without remorse.

I had a friend when I was a kid. He had an older sister than used to yell at us for stepping on ants for the same reason. Then one day she locked my friend and I in my backyard with a tall chain link fence and said she would not let us out unless we gave her a lick of our lollipops. I threw mine in the dirt and told her to share it with her beloved ant friends. I'm 100% sure that she is a liberal today. It's a mental disorder sadly and most likely incurable, though hopefully not contagious.
