Awe yes, the common सवाल over the value of every living thing. Having आप ever heard of Jainism perhaps?
I would definitely say that torturing या killing needlessly isn’t right (though insects do not process pain या emotions), but if a मच्छर या such is sucking your blood, slapping it seems to be a reasonable decision. And sure, that may seem as if आप are using your superiority as a higher-held animal to decide a smallest fate, but really when it comes down to it, everything’s designed for its own survival. आप could see it as a “you harm it, या let it harm you” sort of thing.
Death of anything, animal, human, even insect, is just “the वृत्त of life” आप know?

Reminds me of a सवाल like “is it wr9ng for a lion to kill for its food”
They don't have the sort of cognitive ability to understand right या wrong, so they can't be wronged if that is a concept that is beyond their understanding.

द्वारा that logic, we can kill even humans those who lack sufficient cognitive abilities to grasp morality?
Even जानवर are capable of doing some very horrible things when it comes to their own defense या खाना but we treat them as vulnerable innocent beings that's because they are not conscious of their acts. Humans on the other are conscious of 'good' and 'evil' so they have sort of 'moral responsibility' of things. Funnily enough this concept of morals was created द्वारा humans themselves (inspired द्वारा religion) in nature there are no morals, it's survival of the fittest. So it largely depends on an individual human's values because if आप look at it rational then they are important for the environmental purpose and that effects our own survival and doesn't serve any moral purpose. Despite this humans are good for the sake of being good and we're actually the kindest species (sort of)

I know that morality is a social construct because I'm a nihilist, but what I'm trying to understand is the logic of those who say "killing जानवर for no reason या torture them is wrong या killing humans for is wrong yet they are not saying the same for insects.
