So sad that the world if full of people who gain joy from torturing and killing in any form.

There is a huge difference between killing a cockroach and capturing a cockroach and pulling all its legs off and then slowly squishing it until it succumbs to death. Then posting this wonderful footage on Youtube.

If you lack this basic moral compass then your parents sucked.

I find it frightening that there appears to be many people who see no difference between killing for entertainment and killing for necessity (or even convenience.) It is sick to gain pleasure from watching another living being suffer. I think I understand now how the battles of the Roman Coliseum, dog fighting, bull baiting, and all the other blood "sports" came to be.

I'm really disappointed not only by Neatorama supporting this perverse activity, but also the support of many for it.

It’s a good thing that bugs aren’t sentient then right?"

Actually, bugs are indeed sentient. Note the definition of sentient: Sentience refers to utilization of sensory organs or organelles, the ability to feel or perceive subjectively, not necessarily including the faculty of self-awareness.

If a bug is able to perceive pain and threat to its life enough to attempt to flee and/or fight to protect it's life then I'd consider that sentient.

Killing should never be done for entertainment. It is a fact of life and in some cases a necessity (eek a spider in my shoe!) it should never be done to obtain perverse pleasure from it.
