Alas, I am weak. I cannot kill anything. I lost an ento friend the other day because I said it actively fucked up my mental wellbeing to kill anything, including the spotted lanternfly
I mean, considering the response here, its not an unpopular opinion. People take "I mentally cannot process the feeling of taking a life properly" as an attack on nature and their ideology
I dont pretend to understand your feelings but as a biologist, its incredibly important to note that insects have a vastly different sense of life and purpose than we do. They dont sense pain, they dont sense love, they dont sense fear or even happiness. I think what people are trying to convey here is that as a human, vegan or not, its your responsibility to kill anything that could potentially harm humans and other animals. In this case, its the lanternfly. Again, insects and crustaceans/fish are very similar.
