If they are in the garden that is fine, if they come into my house that are there to be destroyed (by someone else though, I'll be curled up in a ball on the other side of the room whimpering)
I´m not super scared of spiders, but I definitely don´t like the big ones with visible fangs. But I never kill them either, and here´s the reason: it´s not so much that I´m so human and don´t want to know them dead, but that they are just slightly scary ALIVE, but horribly DISGUSTING dead, or dying, or half dead (when you didn´t manage to kill them in one hit). That´s just material for nightmares! While the living animal is just strange (in the sense of different), and all I want is getting some physical distance between us.
If your friend is a little bit like me, maybe it´s not so much his love for the principle of non-violence, but the horrible alternative of seeing this animal die in JUICY agony inside his living quarters, when he could instead simply get rid of it in a DRY way by transferring it to the (neighbor´s) garden?
Although we like to take advantage of the impression that our supposed non-violence exerts on third parties...

But I know that you are ALSO a lovely person, wherever your feelings concerning juiciness may lie.
