Whether we choose to think about it or not, humans in their daily lives directly cause immense suffering to the little creatures. Leaving them half crushed, spraying poison, drowning. Have you ever observed these events closely, and possibly worsening the situation for the insect: tear off a leg, peel a wing?
Here is a hypothetical question for you: is it unfair for the human and animal communities that starve after locust swarms eat all the vegetation in an area? They don’t have the capacity to be concerned with what they are doing and the lives they are affecting.
Exactly, which is why we should experience an insect torture to understand its insignificance & inevitability. I love insects but I also love eating them, and also love watching people clean and prepare them for cooking
I mean this coming from a place of love in my heart when I say this but wanting to subject anything that’s alive to torture for the sake of torture is mentally ill and abnormal. Seek professional help.
I do not desire for insect torture, and I have no reason nor urge to do it again. But i believe people should do it once, cuz insects are important.
It has already likely been done once and documented. I disagree with this, but even if someone were to agree with it, it’s already on the internet to be watched if for scientific reasons (hopefully not sadistic) so that it doesn’t need to be done again.
The counter to this is that humans are important, so if an alien species were to come here, all the aliens should torture a human at least once because we are important to understand.
This is a very similar scenario, and everyone would probably agree that if said aliens were to torture a human, that it’s absolutely terrible. We are now the insects in this scenario.
