We should treat ants the same as people. And animals in the same case. We live on the same planet as them, might as well get along.
People are to fixed on their ideas that they dont care whether they killed something or not, and make up an excuse to rationalize their idea, like "That bug was in my house, it shouldnt have been, so I KILLED it."
Yes, although I, have to admit, have a slight fear of bugs, I do feel sympathy for them and try to help them survive.
