Killing a Cockroach
Question
On the path near my house, cockroaches sometimes pass by, and it’s kind of disgusting. I’m used to stepping on them. Is there a moral problem with that?
Answer
It seems to me that there is. If you can avoid the harm or the disgust without killing them, that is preferable.
