See the "Good Book" - note the part about "dominion over the animals".
p.s. Whatever happened to the heel of a shoe traveling downwards at 60 mph?
I have some cool pics of damages done by brown recluses. Can I post them, Greg? Or are they too graphic?
Spiders that actually harm humans, such as brown recluses, black widows, etc are pretty rare and only found in certain regions of the country. Spiders as a whole are very harmless and only bite when provoked and their venom isn't powerful enough to harm adults.
I just think it's stupid to kill off insects that benefit the environment and then look for artificial ways of controlling problems that are caused by our ignorance. [/hippie rant]
