I don’t wish to kill you Mr Spider
But I don’t wish Jerry to be bitten either …
Stand-off in the Kitchen
Melinda J. Irvine is an Australian writer, poet, and blogger living between the Philippines and Australia. Mel is adopted mum to Jerry, a Filipino boy she met in 2015 while volunteering after Typhoon Yolanda. All the money she earns as a freelance writer and author get her one step closer to legally adopting Jerry — plus helping the other kids from his village go to school.
A dilemma indeed. We don’t have dangerous spiders in the UK though some can bite. I try to trap them and put them outside. I’d feel really bad about killing such amazing creatures. I have no such inhibition about swatting the mosquitoes here in Romania!
i really don’t like killing anything but i dont have a lot of compassion for cockroaches
yikes!
yep and that’s just one of them hahaha
