2855.0. "Value Life" by CRUISE::NDC (Nancy Diettrich-Cunniff-I wanted it all) Wed Sep 13 1989 11:34

    I received an invitation to the annual Humane Awards banquet sponsored
    by the MSPCA yesterday.  The envelope had a wonderful quote on it.
    
    "Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar
    is as important to the child
    as it is to the caterpillar"
    
    Wonderful sentiment.

    I like that.  As a younger person, I always killed most bugs,
    ESPECIALLY spiders.  Now (that I'm not so young), I always feel a
    little guilty if I kill an insect (unless it's mosquito).  I even have
    a resident spider (black and ugly) living around my house.  However,
    the poor thing almost got it the other day when he crawled across my
    pillow!  YUCK!

    If bugs have mothers that care, then Smokey must be causing many
    unhappy Mother's Days for the local grasshoppers.  :-}

    I also will kill nothing without a reason.  I'm afraid that I do
    go after mosquito's with a vengence however.  Its them or me!!
    I also feel no love for carpenter ants, but if they stay out of
    my house then I leave them alone.
      The cats however, have a reason for going after the dragonflies
    and grasshoppers......LUNCH !
