I try not to but I'm not gonna lie and say I never have! I kindly suck them up with the dust buster and put them outside!

no i don't. i trap them in a cup and set them free outside, usually by a bush or in the woods. i understand that they might be picked up by predators, but it's better than killing them myself. i even stop my friends from killing them.

The only ones we kill are the Brown Recluse and the Black Widow...both are exceedingly poisonous to humans. All others I capture by placing a glass over them and sliding a stiff card [like those blow-ins from magazines, ideal] under the mouth of the glass and lifting whole thing...tiptoe to the nearest doorway and put spider outdoors. The only spiders that don't fit under a regular glass are the tarantulas we get in October [their mating season, they're out & about] and those I scoop up by a fast nudge into a saucepan with a spatula and putting a fast lid on the pan and out the door. With legs extended, the brown-gold tarantulas we have here are about the size of an average person's hand. Arrrgh.

In the interest of honesty, I have to admit that I'm arachniphobic & usually my SO deals with intruding spiders. My SO is also vegetarian & when possible he catches them & lets them go outside, which is fine w/ me b/c I honestly prefer they aren't killed if they're not dangerous.
My phobia, of course is irrational & I'm actively working on it w/ a professional but its intensity varies a *lot* & sometimes I'm able to do the 'catch & release' myself-- which gives me bragging rights for the next 48 hours ;-)

No..I trap some and place them outside...it depends what kind. There are spiders that can only survive inside (the basic house spider) and it can't survive outside. Those I keep...they get rid of alot of unwanted insects in the house.

I live in Florida and sometimes a spider bite might paralize the area it bit. So I kill those suckers.
But if I see a daddy long leg, I leave them alone, I think they're very friendly.

I feel really bad if I kill them. I'll usually do whatever I can to gently get them outside. However, I don't feel that way for roaches. I'll kill those and not feel bad. Spiders seem different though since they're not really pest.

In Australia we have some very deadly spiders even in our city gardens. Those ones I kill without hesitation. The harmless ones in the house I leave alone - my mother says it is bad luck to kill spiders for some reason. I simply figure that if they can't hurt me and they kill the flies then they are welcome in my house.

I usually try to put them outside. However, if it's crawling on me - I tend to freak and it winds up smooshed before I have time to think.
I swat flies too. Hate too... but there just isnt' a way to make them go outside. Not sure how they get in (I have screens)... but they do.
We cant be perfect. I'm sure we kill countless bugs just walking around every day...

properly, for my section, i'm properly worth a good purchase extra to the "reason" of veganism at the same time as i'm ALIVE and residing what i believe. In essence, putting an occasion does lots extra to unfold wisdom and tips that being some form of martyr would desire to ever do. A remark on your "i does not consume meat for 1000000000 money". properly, for me, the thought technique is as such... if some eccentric billionaire got here to me and reported, "right this is a cooked, arranged steak. consume one chew of it, and that i visit grant you my entire fortune, no questions asked"... properly, specific, i could sense undesirable that an animal had to die... purely as I do when I see absolutely everyone eating a steak. yet as a count of fact, it has already died... the possibility to save that animal has exceeded, and my one chew (and getting the runs later, possibly), could shelter 1000000000 plus money... purely think of of ways lots reliable that form of money could make to maximum of different animals who have not reached their destiny yet!? That reported, for an identical volume of money, i could by no skill kill an animal. "right this is a cow. Kill it and get 1000000000 money." I purely could not do it.

It will depend on the fruit or plant involved with a comparison. If perhaps you compare a n to a carrot, the carrot is the better of the two nutritional. When you compare an avocado to the carrot, then an avocado is better. Equally the apple and avocado, are fruits.

Nope, we don't have any poisonous ones in my area, so there's absolutely no need to kill them. I like spiders anyway, and prefer to have them in my house. They keep actual pests (like flies and mosquitos) away.
