In answer to your question, indubitably I attempt to not harm the smaller things. I am a hostage to the cat on my lap, I relocate bugs from indoors rather than smashing them... unless it's flies, flies I kill. I'm not a Buddhist. Flies poop disease where they land. But I also like to interact with other beings... I'm curious, and have been known to catch bugs and lizards and moles in order to see them up close even though I know this isn't ideal for them. I am as gentle as I can be and don't keep them trapped for long, but baby bunnies are irresistably cute and I researched to find out that the mother doesn't reject them for smelling like people, she just comes back to the nest and feeds them.
Now that I've read your essay I'm feeling guilty about it though. Maybe I'll use binoculars more to see up close from here on out.
