Is it normal my nephew killed an insect?

lol it's a bug, if you're gonna get so worked up over it why don't you go complain about how baby roosters are thrown in a grinder because their useless to the egg industry ;)

i highly suggest bee movie however. strap him down and force him to watch it. every. day

Have him watch The Ant Bully, best to put a compassionate and humane ideology into kids while they're still young, especially males who usually go through a "violent" stage in the preteen and teen years. Insects and small animals deserve respect and kindness! The "It's just a bug" mentality is very dangerous and always expands.

Bee Movie

I used to kill spiders because I was afraid of them, but as i matured and grew up, my attitudes and respect for all life has changed. Now if i can, l catch the spider in a glass and release it away from the house. To hunt down a cricket and kill it because it made a noise is a touch extreme. All life is precious including the bugs. Your nephew doesn't have to love creepy crawlies, but he needs to learn respect for all life forms

When my mother and I were walking to the cinema yesterday I was trying not to step on the bull ants that were running over the path but further on I heard a crunching sound come from under my shoe and realised I stepped on a little snail. Even though it was an accident I still feel guilty.

why are you blaming him for killing just an insect? don't meat grinders and butchers slaughter thousands daily?

Perfectly normal.
