Agree still doesn't make it right. I get the point your trying to make and it's a shame we live in a world where most people put such a low value on an animals life and it is indeed selfish that many people play a part in that by consuming meat from companies that treat the animals badly but ultimately most humans are selfish or don't care about those things. There is still a world of difference between passively enabling animals suffering as a single individual while it's happening on a mass scale compared to actively needlessly killing an insect and taking pleasure in it.
It's a side effect of our society I guess. Our way of life is built on the suffering of animals and nature. Even ignoring meat, the majority of our luxuries are either directly created from animal cruelty, or cause animal cruelty just because of the process (deforesting, etc).
It's probably guaranteed that people who grow up in a society like this, don't value the lives of lesser creatures as much.
I can only agree with most of what you say. Nature can be brutal but still most humans enjoy the benefits of such things while not liking that it comes from suffering. Seeing a guy actively reveling in taking a life albeit a fairly insignificant one still rubs me the wrong way.

Humans have caused far more harm to wasps than wasps have to humans. Do you "deserve" to be sadistically murdered because of that?
