[QUOTE=Lewis Lapthorn]Doesn't make sense to kill a species does it

If you were changing your baby's nappy on the lounge floor, and a large red back spider ran across the room, would you:

a. Ignore it

b. Carefully gather it in a tea towel and let it out into the garden

c. Splat it

.........yes to rebuke a previous post suggesting that killing a species shouldn't be an option.

The post after that was trying to make a comparison between those that might want to spend time in a spiders's web and those that might want to swim in the sea.

Keep up sunshine.
