Should we protect all life? even poison plant,snakes,deadly spider,evil people?
I'm an animal lover and I love kids. If I see a snake that is something other then a garden snake, one that looks dangerous, I'm gonna kill it. I'm not gonna give that snake a chance to bite my dog a kid or me for that matter.
Reply:Not if it messes with you.
Reply:Yes, I'm not a crazy PETA person or anything like that, but I don't understand just because something doesn't directly benefit us why people want to kill it for the sake of killing it. I have no problem at all with hunting if you eat your kill, it's these people who hunt for "sport" I don't understand.
Reply:Why? It's a dog eat dog world out there; all nature has natural cycles. Ever heard of the food chain? We're a part of it too. If some pest is threatening your health/safety or preventing you doing what you need to do, fight back.





(Of course, I'm talking about gardening here, not knocking off that teacher/neighbour you don't like!)
Reply:There are times when it is necessary to take lives for survival. We must eat, and even plants are alive. Sometimes we have to kill to keep from being killed or harmed. We have to kill to eat. All of life is interconnected, and all species depend upon each other for survival.





Killing indiscriminately and without need is wrong, eliminating species without regard for the web of life is wrong. Every species that is gone, puts the species that depended upon it for life, in danger. We should protect them all, for our own ultimate survival.








Poison snakes, plants and spiders all have places in the web. To kill them just for being is wrong. The only excuse for killing them is if they are directly threatening you or causing you harm. Otherwise, it is good to leave them alone. Non-interference would be the word.





As for evil people, they should at least be put where they can do no harm.
Reply:we should only protect the things that we care about and the things that require help. we cant help poisen plants, snakes, spiders and evil people because its obvious they will attack us and we cant do anything to help them
