I have deep-seated arachnophobia and deeply appreciate the grotesque, and I still feel so bad for the spiders, c'mon! I at least hope they died of natural causes well before someone decided to try using them as a grabber toy... Like, at least that!
I'm guessing you missed the "Euthanize spider" slide with a little snowflake icon.
I haven't seen that one, no!:( It just starts with the spider gripping a raspberry:(
Edit: can't really say having them euthanised makes this any better, tbh...
You missed the part where the first step was
Well I guess you missed the memes about what we do to horseshoe crabs
And will continue to do so, yes! Aw, nuts, this thread made me sad :-<
You didn't just miss "euthanize spider" but also the very "humanely" way of slowly freezing it to death for 5 days. And I share your thoughts. I really really really hate spiders, but I love them. As they're fascinating creatures with incredible abilities. If that makes sense. Also very useful.
