I'm a vegetarian, I love animals, well I love them enough not to kill them. Until today that is.
I didn't mean to, honestly. It started last night, when my girlfriend started screaming. What, what's up is she being attacked? No, she is simply screaming because there's a incy wincey little spider in the bathroom.
Now as I said above, I don't kill animals or in this case insects. I opened the bathroom window, got a handful of loo paper and gently wrapped the Spider up and dropped it out the window (the paper cushions it's fall).
So, the spiders alive, outside and my girlfriend is nice and calm, everything's back to normal, well so I thought.
After lunch today, I took some bread out for the birds, a little crusty but they seem to like it. However I was not prepared for the horror that awaited me.
There, lying still on the grass tangled in the Pink loo roll was a bird, a starling I think. As I gently poked it with a stick it didn't move, it was stiff, lifeless, DEAD.
How could I have done such a thing? I thought I was doing good by saving the spider but instead I'd not only got the spider eaten, a poor innocent bird had died, probably of Andrex poisoning, how could I be so cruel?
I buried the bird at the bottom of the garden and put a little rock on top, a little headstone if you like. I'm in remorse now, still wondering how, how I could be so cruel?

At least your girlfriend is happy, more important than some insect that is insignificant to the order of life anyways lol.
I felt very bad when I shot a pigeon that was decimating our fruit and haven't deliberatly killed anything since.
Unfortunatly my dad wishes to be rid of the plague of rabbits in our field and my stalker is more than happy to oblige, with his camo gear and high powered air rifle. Its quite sickening (and messy) watching him shoot a rabbit then attempt to gut it - to make his "lovely rabbit pie".
I also saw some animal rights people in town at lunch and they had posters (not for sale) of a cat with what looked like a serial port in its head. Apparently it was part of a botched experiment to interface with an animal's brain. It's horrible what some scientists will do, and I felt sorry for the poor cat (I'm quite soft like that as I have two moggys). I expressed my feelings to the people behind the stall - saying how cruel the experiment was and ultimately how stupid - especially since we now have USB which is far quicker and more compact that Serial. They didn't find the last part that funny though....
Anyway, doesn't really add to your topic but never mind, thought I'd say it anyway.

I wouldn't feel too guilty - it's unlikely that the loo roll killed the bird. Not unless you threw it out of the window with a brick attached, anyway.
There's all sorts of litter all over the country, and it rarely kills birds. I'd imagine the bird was dead - probably killed by a cat or something - before you even threw the paper out.

You didn't need to wrap the spider up. It's mass is so tiny that it can fall quite large distances without any serious injury. It certainly wouldn't be killed by being dropped from a first floor window.
...erm, hope I haven't aggrivated your guilt trip there. Sorry ;)

The traditional method of dealing with the spider-girlfriend problem has always been to put a glass on top of the spider, slide a piece of paper underneath and remove the arachnid from the premises. Recently I've discovered a better method: put a LARGE glass on top of your girlfriend, slide a piece of paper underneath and remove the female from the premises. This is a more long-term solution requiring no killing): the spider will eventually come back, but I guarantee that your girlfriend won't. Voila! Peace, quiet, and an easy conscience.
I have NO idea on how to kill a spider...
