When I was 7-8 years old and didn't understand death or comprehend that small animals could feel the same pain we do...I would torture crickets and tadpoles and small frogs. I was a very emotionally unstable child who was being emotionally and sexual abused and bullied at school. I hate myself every day for it even though I know I am not a future serial killer and not in danger of or have any urges for hurting people and was just a very messed up child who wasnt taught right. I got exposed to certain things after that helped me grow empathy and realize I was causing living things pain when I was previously told that they don't feel pain and that nature exists for Christians to dominate and control. (I obv don't believe this anymore) I would let crickets start to drown and take them out when their movements got slow or let them drown. I would leave baby tadpoles on a hot rock until they stopped breathing. I would impale baby frogs through their mouth. Feel free to hate me forever
