I just killed a moth - I feel really bad
It was probably the same moth as last night, I bet he figured we were buddies. But he startled me and I flicked him with my finger...he sat there twitching, and I finished him off. I feel terrible...I'm going to bed. :-(

11. Yeah, me, too.
I try to relocate whenever possible, but accidents do happen. And I have done a few "mercy killings" after an unfortunate insect has had an encounter with one of the cats. But I still feel bad, a life is a life, right?

17. No, I don't.

Or I'd go to one. Bugs don't have brains? (I shouldn't be surprised, Bush doesn't have brains and he seems to move around all right. Unless he is the example of the theory that a human body doesn't need a brain to move. But I digress...)

21. Wow. Amazing, isn't it?
What complex little creatures. So I guess that when I try to talk reassuringly to them when I am either relocating or putting them out of their misery, I am just wasting my time?

Every time you kill a moth a freeper gets his wings.

23. Don't feel bad.
That moth would kill you and your whole family if gave him the chance. Your pre-emptive strike was more than justified, given that I know for a fact that that moth attempted to buy uranium from Niger.

24. I used to be really mean to moths
I would pull off their legs and laugh hysterically as they tried to land on the ceiling. :(

I still feel extremely guilty about doing that when I was a young kid.
