I have deep-seated arachnophobia and deeply appreciate the grotesque, and I still feel so bad for the spiders, c'mon! I at least hope they died of natural causes well before someone decided to try using them as a grabber toy... Like, at least that!

Well I guess you missed the memes about what we do to horseshoe crabs

You didn't just miss "euthanize spider" but also the very "humanely" way of slowly freezing it to death for 5 days. And I share your thoughts. I really really really hate spiders, but I love them. As they're fascinating creatures with incredible abilities. If that makes sense. Also very useful.

I'm guessing you missed the "Euthanize spider" slide with a little snowflake icon.

I haven't seen that one, no!:( It just starts with the spider gripping a raspberry:(

Edit: can't really say having them euthanised makes this any better, tbh...
