I trapped a spider in my office, how long will he live for?

[PhatPots]

I had just a little bit of coffee in my mug left when I saw a spider hanging on to the telephone cord. I shook him off it and trapped him on my desk under my coffee mug. How long does OOT think he will survive under my mug? My plan is to starve him to death (Rather than squish him barbarically).

How is starving a creature to death less barbaric than killing it instantly by crushing?

I'd say it's more barbaric.

All,

You don't find this in the least bit cruel?

killing the spider doesn't bother me, but trying to starve/suffocate it is messed up.

agreed, spiders are cool and eat insects that people hate.

let the little guy go. Put him out in your yard, he'll eat other insects you consider harmful or annoying.

Causing another animal (even a spider) to suffer is pretty [censored] up.

lol at this thread!

I'd like to trap the OP under a coffee cup and see how long he lasts before he starves/suffocates.

Put down the coffee cup and let the spider go.

Spiders eat poisonous bugs, definitely free him.
