Ever wonder where those flies have been? Maybe on some nice smelly garbage, and then on your food or your dishes. Flies carry diseases, man.

Glue traps are cruel.
Aren't spider webs kind of like glue traps
I saw a butterfly get stuck to a web once. It immediately started hurling itself violently away, trying to shake itself free. The spider was not immediately in evidence.
I managed to take the web off it, but not without tearing off the part of the wing that made contact. I assume that in the butterfly's best-case scenario, that would have happened anyway. It was able to fly afterwards.
Now try to save a butterfly from a glue trap.
The spider quickly kills the prey. Glue traps don’t.
They paralyze them and wrap them up till they want to eat them which can be days later.
No.
This is the first anti-fly paper take I've ever seen on the basis of morality.
I said glue traps in general are cruel. Google it.
