Welcome back to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast.
2
00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:30,320
In case you’re just joining us, you’re listening to the Alien Space Sheep Talk Show podcast
3
00:00:30,320 –> 00:00:35,120
with Emma Hickins and Trevor Gear.
4
00:00:35,120 –> 00:00:40,280
Reading by spreading the parasitic disease, she’s just also me assets, gotta be careful
5
00:00:40,280 –> 00:00:44,240
at you saying that one, she’s just also me assets, so whatever that is.
6
00:00:44,240 –> 00:00:49,640
So yeah, so they’re the most dangerous animals.
7
00:00:49,640 –> 00:00:57,320
Now if we move on from there, as I say we share our lives on this planet with these people
8
00:00:57,320 –> 00:01:04,040
and I’d like us to look at saying that it’s a well known phrase, I think it’s from the
9
00:01:04,040 –> 00:01:08,480
Bible, we’re not doing religion but I paraphrasing this.
10
00:01:08,480 –> 00:01:15,720
So this greater love has no one than this that someone lays down their life for a friend
11
00:01:15,720 –> 00:01:18,640
or for another, right?
12
00:01:18,640 –> 00:01:24,160
Now before we get onto that, because we need to think what our friends and so on, I’m
13
00:01:24,160 –> 00:01:26,600
gonna ask you a question.
14
00:01:26,600 –> 00:01:29,600
Around your home, do you care?
15
00:01:29,600 –> 00:01:35,400
Yeah, flies and moths and any other bugs that fly around?
16
00:01:35,400 –> 00:01:46,720
Well I didn’t do where I used to live on my own, I didn’t have that problem.
17
00:01:46,720 –> 00:01:49,840
I don’t know why, I don’t have that problem.
18
00:01:49,840 –> 00:02:00,080
Occasionally I’ve a bit of one of them tiny annoying flies, you know, that’s very, very rare
19
00:02:00,080 –> 00:02:02,640
and this is really happening in the summer.
20
00:02:02,640 –> 00:02:11,000
However, where I’ve moved in to now, we’ve moved my wife, Jenny.
21
00:02:11,000 –> 00:02:14,880
She has a zapper that she uses to zap them.
22
00:02:14,880 –> 00:02:22,080
The first time I’ve seen anything like that, I mean I know the zapper, they have, you know,
23
00:02:22,080 –> 00:02:31,640
takeaways, it’s like a light bulb, but usually up there innocently and then the flies, they
24
00:02:31,640 –> 00:02:36,000
are attracted to the light or the moths, they are attracted to the life and then once they
25
00:02:36,000 –> 00:02:39,600
go there, it just zops them and kills them.
26
00:02:39,600 –> 00:02:43,680
I know I’ve heard of that one but I’ve never seen a, this one actually looks like one
27
00:02:43,680 –> 00:02:47,040
of the bats that they use are a wimble.
28
00:02:47,040 –> 00:02:52,520
That’s right, yeah, it’s a tennis racket, yeah, it looks like a tennis racket.
29
00:02:52,520 –> 00:03:02,760
It just goes, and it’s just, I like the noisy makes for animals or poor insects.
30
00:03:02,760 –> 00:03:11,160
So I don’t personally, I’ve only as spiders walk around, you know, sometimes I’ll pick them
31
00:03:11,160 –> 00:03:16,520
up and delicately and chuck them out, but they make their way back in, I don’t know how
32
00:03:16,520 –> 00:03:17,520
poor.
33
00:03:17,520 –> 00:03:23,600
Yeah, spiders are often an exception on me because we’re always told since a phrase isn’t
34
00:03:23,600 –> 00:03:27,280
there, if you wish to live and thrive, let a spider run alive.
35
00:03:27,280 –> 00:03:32,080
A lot of people, I think myself included, don’t like to kill a spider if you see one you
36
00:03:32,080 –> 00:03:36,160
try and put it outside, I agree with you on that.
37
00:03:36,160 –> 00:03:40,040
But otherwise you don’t have any problem and I’m not saying you’re right or wrong, we’re
38
00:03:40,040 –> 00:03:45,480
probably the majority of people do try and get rid of bugs around their home because
39
00:03:45,480 –> 00:03:54,360
flyers and things can, can pass on bugs to humans, the little moths, they can eat the clothes.
40
00:03:54,360 –> 00:04:00,160
But I had a customer when I used to work for a living few years ago and I was having lunch
41
00:04:00,160 –> 00:04:04,640
with her one day and we were talking about this for some reason in general and she said
42
00:04:04,640 –> 00:04:11,640
that she never, ever would kill anything, any live thing in her home and I sort of asked her
43
00:04:11,640 –> 00:04:12,640
about it.
44
00:04:12,640 –> 00:04:17,040
I said, well, what about a wasp, what about stuff that could sting you and so on as she said,
45
00:04:17,040 –> 00:04:25,680
no, I believe that the planet has loads of life teams with life and I’ve got no more right
46
00:04:25,680 –> 00:04:30,280
to kill those little creatures than killing anything else.
47
00:04:30,280 –> 00:04:36,760
So I thought that was quite an interesting stance and probably a very ethically strong stance
48
00:04:36,760 –> 00:04:39,880
isn’t it not to kill another creature.
49
00:04:39,880 –> 00:04:46,520
I think the received wisdom on these things is, unless you are a very hard ethical stance
50
00:04:46,520 –> 00:04:51,640
or the person, most people would say, well, yeah, if they can cause damage to humans or to
51
00:04:51,640 –> 00:04:58,520
human activities within the home, it could be dangerous, then killing them is okay, provided
52
00:04:58,520 –> 00:05:03,520
you do it as quickly and as mercifully as you can, namely the zap of the, you’ve already
53
00:05:03,520 –> 00:05:09,360
talked about, so I imagine when you hit one with those, it would just zap it instantly to
54
00:05:09,360 –> 00:05:10,360
death.
55
00:05:10,360 –> 00:05:14,720
I mean, interestingly, I was looking at this and we’re as a little moth and they can do a lot
56
00:05:14,720 –> 00:05:18,760
of damage to clothes and bedding and so on.
57
00:05:18,760 –> 00:05:21,600
They’re not sentient beings, they are reactive.
58
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:26,720
They, I don’t know whether they feel fear, I don’t think so, I think they’re not complex
59
00:05:26,720 –> 00:05:33,240
like a human, whereas the little flyers, those tiny little black flyers, they’ve been researched
60
00:05:33,240 –> 00:05:37,520
and it does show that they make some sort of decisions as to where they’re going to go,
61
00:05:37,520 –> 00:05:42,160
what they’re not going to do and that they experience fear, which is quite interesting
62
00:05:42,160 –> 00:05:48,120
isn’t it, because whenever you try and zap or swat something in your home, they, they
63
00:05:48,120 –> 00:05:53,280
said very cleverly seem to avoid it, don’t they, that and then it’s not nice to think,
64
00:05:53,280 –> 00:06:00,480
maybe they’re scared stiff of losing their existence, I don’t know, but, but again, it’s all to do
65
00:06:00,480 –> 00:06:05,960
with the same subject about are these, are all the creatures on the earth, our friends,
66
00:06:05,960 –> 00:06:12,120
we are okay, we’re the second most dominant creature, but obviously humans have the upper
67
00:06:12,120 –> 00:06:16,960
hand on most things and we could look at all sorts of things.
68
00:06:16,960 –> 00:06:20,840
We’re going to take a short break now, we’re back shortly.
69
00:06:20,840 –> 00:06:26,760
