In Buddhism, I learned that it isn't less bad because you killed a bug, a life is still a life and all lives are equal. That knowledge put a twisted thinking on me though. I could kill a mosquito and I will have to pay the same price as killing a person in hell. So what if it's the other way round? Don't people usually go for a bigger win if it's the same price? Of course,that doesn't mean I would kill a person, just a thought. The thing is, the more relatable and the more emotion an animal can show, the more hesitant people become in killing. For example, we started to hesitate at killing a mammal because they're closer to us. We started to have thoughts like "Oh, they have a family. What are its baby going to do now that it's dead?". Things like that
