It’s Not Sport if it Can’t Kill You!
Bob called my attention to a t-shirt featuring this statement about killing animals for enjoyment.
I love gardening. I have been known to shriek with delight at the sight of a red, ripe cherry tomato or the discovery of a hidden squash. Not everything goes smoothly in a vegetable garden. Recently little green caterpillars have been heartily eating my kale. My organic gardening book tells me to pick them off the leaves by hand rather than spraying with pesticides. Yes! I am in sync with that advice. Stomping on them doesn’t fit. Those caterpillars have a right to be on this earth. This leads me to a quandary: I prefer not to kill anything, but I make exceptions – fire ants, mosquitoes, cockroaches, for example. Even then I don’t enjoy it!
Do you encounter this type of dilemma?
