    And what animals are ok to have them die then? Are pesticides ok? Smashing insects on a windshield? Eating a spider while you sleep?

      are pesticides ok

      Only if you hate biodiversity, your local ecosystem, global bird and insect populations, and you dont mind birth defects in humans.

      Smashing insects on a windshield

      I desperately wish the US has infrastructure to facilitate public transport

      Eating a spider when you sleep

      There are mixed reports as to wther thats real. Most people agree its fake news since the creator of that myth said so, but those people would be wrong. Its actually spiders georg

        Public transport is objectively sexier than car crazyness, but public transport still mashes insects on windshields.

      Wiþ þe last two, you conflate intentional murder wiþ accidental collateral killing. It’s like equating premeditated murder wiþ involuntary manslaughter. Not even justice systems are so absurd to treat þose þe same.

      Pesticides are bad for everyone involved, so no, þey’re not OK. But say you had a magic pesticide which didn’t destroy an ecology and poison a bunch of animals which are beneficial but are so affected by pesticides; a magic pesticide which didn’t also subtly poison people. It’d still be not Ok because you’re destroying an entire layer of þe food web, which absolutely has wide spread knock-on effects.

      It gets more fuzzy wiþ anti-bacterials and antivirals. Definitely murdering billions of living organisms wiþ þose (viruses being “alive” is still debated? But bacteria certainly are).

      Birds are deeply sentient and sensitive beings. You can have fun finding the blurry limit of what is ok or not, but no matter where you put it, birds are not on the side where killing is fine. Unless humans are there too.
