Wallym:

Yes I'm well aware bugs and other tiny forms of life die all the time, and I'm helpless to stop it. Me not being able to step on a bug is about me. I'm sure I have accidentally crushed plenty of bugs in my lifetime, but it's not my intention to.

I wasn't trying to say how amazing I was, I wanted to explain a point about how hard wired I am. When I referred to other people hurting animals, I don't count bugs and bacteria. If someone deliberately kills an insect for no reason other than they want to, then that makes me a little sad. But if they are cruel to a larger animal, that makes me a lot more sad. I suppose I can relate more to larger animals, and I suspect their scope for suffering is a lot higher.
