Is it immoral to kill a centipede?

[undeterred]

A big hairy centipede was in my bathtub tonight.

So I rinsed him away, and closed the drain. Centipedes creep me out!

Do you think he drowned? He was about this size.

1. I have those damn things in my apartment.

They're fast as hell.

[MiddleFingerMom]

2. They don't drown easy.

But I bet you ANGERED it!!!!!

The only important question is: Did it get a good look at your face?

3. Is he gonna come after me in my bed?

Shit, if I didn't go into moral agony about things like killing a centipede I would have torched him.

6. I heard an average of 4 centipedes per year crawl into your mouth while you sleep.

Its true!

[undeterred]

7. No, that's spiders.

And they're going in there to floss for the people who forget.

[rcrush]

8. Maybe its bacon.

I heard an average of 4 bacon a year crawl into your mouth while you sleep.

[undeterred]

9. No thats 6 degrees of bacon, and its Kevin.

[rcrush]

10. I would be worried if Kevin Bacon crawls into my mouth

4 times a year!? On average?!!

[surrealAmerican]

27. Much better!

They'll catch those other bugs that climb into your mouth.

[Capn Sunshine]

4. Yeah , you just pissed him off

he's hiding just waiting for you to take a shower...and

5. I think I have some of that nasty drain cleaner...

[Deep13]

11. I fucking hate those things. nt

[TZ]

12. They bite. And they are poisonous

So no, its self defense...

[Kali]

18. nah that is a house centipede, pretty harmless

even the big ones (see my next post }( ) aren't that bad, although I confess I haven't been bitten

[HopeHoops]

13. Not if you eat it. Saute it in butter with garlic first.

[RedCloud]

14. No signs of it being a "he".

[LeftinOH]

15. I kill them on sight- Remember, all the ones you don't kill will reproduce.

19. I'm not especially squeamish or girly, but THOSE gross me out. Spiders I can handle,

lizards, snakes, mice, no problem. Those hairy centipedes, however... *shudder*.

[Kali]

20. no its not immoral, but

the kind in your picture are harmless and like spiders, eat other things you don't want in your house

for perspective, here is the kind of centipede I get in my house sometimes



and then there are these bastards

25. My brother was stung by a scorpion once

It crawled into his boots during the night and when he put them on the next day it nailed him.

He was sick for over a week.

That was in Iraq, during Gulf War I.

When he came back, my wife made him a quilt to commemorate his return.

There is an embroidered scorpion on the signature block, to commemorate his encounter with the scorpion.

31. nice work on that!

I've been stung so many times I barely notice anymore (not really true).

Harvester ants are worse.

22. If you want something from a centipede, how many of its legs do you have to threated to break?

[undeterred]

32. Well, they don't have kneecaps

and I think their legs grow back... so probably quite a few.

[av8rdave]

33. That's it then....

Centipedes are doing my dirty work from now on!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. I saw one of my cats eat a centipede like that.

The centipede was scurrying across the living room floor (a heinous and unacceptable act), and the cat ran up to it and smooshed it with his paw and ate it all up. Nom nom nom nom nom. It was pretty disgusting to watch.

[caitxrawks]

24. holy lord i think i just died.

JEEZ those mothers creep me out. Gross! I hate them, and anything with long antennae and legs.

[stray cat]

26. If you believe animals = people in terms of value - you probably should not even take antibiotics

as it kills bacteria that are just trying to live. (even if it involves eating you)

[JTG of the PRB]

28. Eww. EWW. EWWWWW!!!

My parents have those things in their house on occasion. We call then "Edgars," after the bad-guy bug in the first Men in Black movie.

:scared:

[Midlodemocrat]

29. It's not only immoral. In some states, no, all states

It's illegal. And punishable by death. If I were you? I would delete your thread.

And, no. I'm not kidding.







Well, yes. Of course I am.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

30. Immoral, maybe

But definitely unwise
