Spiders when poo picking

I currently have a cup sized space in the ceiling corner of my bathroom that is unpainted whilst the rest has been newly decorated. Why? Because I was away to slap over the corner with some paint and noticed dozens of tiny spiderlings emerging from a sac, I couldn't bring myself to sentence them to paint frozen eternity so I left them. They are slowly reducing in numbers, hopefully out the open window. Until they all disappear then I will have to wait to complete. Sad, I know. ;)
 
I don't particularly 'like' spiders but I don't hate them. I didn't even kill the Katipo spider that bit me in New Zealand.....I take it that I got bitten because I disturbed it and it was scared of me, I certainly would never kill a harmless spider just because it happened to be in my house!
 
Totally agree, I wouldn't ever kill a spider on purpose because it was there. I am TERRIFIED of spiders, all insects infact. Everything has a right to live (even the spiders who were probably here before humans existed).
 
I kill spiders, have never actually encountered a stable spider despite all the webs in every stable I've ever been in, lucky really because I'd have a panic attack and the horse'd probably kill me after panicking at my panicking!:o And for those saying spider squashing/boiling/blow torching is cruel, its not. They don't have nervous systems like we do, they have a central ganglion and don't have fear or pain responses like us. Yuck.
 
People always marvel at how very little flies we have at our stables... then recoil at the mass of webs everywhere... go figure :)
