8. I tear the wings from cockroaches and crickets regularly...

...at least a couple of dozen every semester. I do euthanize them first, though....

Own up. This is small stuff compared to what you did to the felines.

19. How unethical?

There are degrees of unethical actions, and surely you've done worse than ripping the wings off a cockroach, for free....

Have you ever killed a bug non-instantaneously?

20. Sure.

Before my beliefs became what they are now, I used to step on spiders, rinse ants down the kitchen sink and set mousetraps. But I don't do that anymore because I believe (and I don't ask anyone else to share my beliefs) in practicing love, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity toward other sentient beings. I'm not perfect. I still occasionally eat beef, and I swat a mosquito if it's sucking my blood.

18. well, I already get paid to kill and study bugs so why not?

Er, I did before I was jobless. Besides, it wouldn't kill the thing and I'm not fond of cockroaches in the least.
