Dilemma of the day

If you injure a bug, should you kill it or let it live? This happens to me all the time. I accidentally step on a bug and injure it. It sits there struggling and I’m always confused over if I should kill it to relieve it of pain or let it live in hopes that it may survive

Do you also have this dilemma? These days, I leave the bug alone and hope he recovers. But there was a time when I cut off a lizard’s tail to see if it really grows back. I have no clue if it amounts to torture & the lizard felt emotionally hurt etc. :-)
