You are making a huge flap over a fly? A common household insect that people for centuries have been killing using flyswatter and newspapers?
I understand your position, I really do – I don’t like seeing animals being abused or hurt because of incompetent owners. I don’t like inhumane treatment of animals.
But, C’MON! It. Was. A. Fly.
Let me put it this way. 1 million African babies and children die from malaria spread by mosquitoes every year. There is NO CURE for malaria. If you were in a room with malaria-infested mosquitoes, are you sure you wouldn’t kill them to save your life? I know I wouldn’t hesitate to swat a few.
How about lyme disease? A tick-borne disease that, if not caught in time, can lead to a life of memory loss, sleep disorders, hallucinations and decreased consciousness. Would you kill a tick to prevent yourself from years of suffering?
Again, I’m all for humane treatment of animals. But there is a fine line between reasonable and irrational.
