Flies and Ethical Questions

Hard moments when your 8 yr old gives a convincing argument for NOT killing flies.

See, we had DOZENS of them in our house yesterday. Don't know how they got in or when... but they were in. Instead of taking my kitchen towel and whacking them all into oblivion or opening doors/ windows in the hopes that they would fly OUT of the house... Jake and I chose to close the windows, thus trapping them between the glass and the screen.

Sawyer, our sensitive one, doesn't think this is fair. His argument is this:
Just because I don't like something or it annoys me, that doesn't mean I get to hit, swat, or murder things (points to brother). So, why do you get to kill flies?

Um.... crickets....
