Andrew, I don't believe there is a right or wrong answer, but I will share my thoughts on it.
I don't kill anything purposely, be it insects, lizards, snakes, etc. I came home one day to find a snake was out on my deck, so I caught him, placed in a bucket & took him to the hills to set free. I catch spiders, whatever that may find it's way in, & take them out to the garden.
I believe all living beings have a purpose on this earth & I always put myself into their skins, furs, or feathers, & I wouldn't want a big foot, a swatter, a newspaper or spray coming down on me.
That's just me, & you will surely have other opinions.
Good question Andrew!
