Totally. I hate it so much when people kill plants, and are just like "it's just a plant!"... Plants ARE alive too, and while they can't feel pain, they still deserve to be respected. Like, I get so upset when people cut down trees for no reason. It almost hurts.
Yay! I stopped killing bugs when I was a kid (we're talking probably 8 or 9), and the only times I can ever remember killing them purposefully since then was when we had houseflies, and one time when I had a ton of fruit flies in my room. I felt horrible after both incidents. I don't kill mosquitoes anymore, and I never killed wasps/hornets/bees (they're my favorite insects). I'm a bit weird though. I still save earthworms from being crushed on the sidewalks when it rains.

I figure my karma's got to be AMAZING.
