Are vegans alloud to kill spiders and bugs?!


Question: Are vegans alloud to kill spiders and bugs!?
Answers:
Vegans are "allowed" to do whatever they want!. There are no Vegan Police who are going to storm your house if you swat a fly!.

However, most vegans who are compassionate about animals *choose* not to kill insects because they feel that they are animals, too, and deserve as much reverence and respect as any other animal!.

I'm absolutely terrified of spiders, but I still try not to squish them if I can help it!. Most of the time, I have my boyfriend move them outside!. Other bugs, which don't really bother me at all, I typically just catch in my hands and put outside!. I let crickets hang around, though, because I like their music!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

No one should kill something because they are scared of it!. A vegan can kill in self defense!. If bugs have invaded your house or are trying to bite you, I'd call it self defence!.

There are no vegan police, but veganism is about animal rights!. If your going to kill things that are not threatening you I'd call you a strict vegetarian not a vegan!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends on why you are vegan!. There are no rules about it!. If you are vegan for health reasons, I suppose it doesn't matter!. But if it's for concerns about animals, then spiders and bugs are animals too, so you should try to move them rather than kill them!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

NO!
Even when I ate meat I didn't!
I always move spiders outside, I also move flies outside, I've never seen any other bug in my house though!.
BUT yeah I wouldn't!.
ADD: Allowed as in you can do something, not aloud as in your voice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Not for fun!.
If there is no other solution, like putting it outside, then yes!.

Usually put all bugs outside!.!. I felt bad for killing a tick the other day that was crawling on my arm!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
