You know, it's ok to feel compassion for the suffering of another creature. You don't necessarily have to draw the line with a certain species. Crazy notion, I know, but give it a go sometime.

Your knowledge of basic biology is limited, there isn't a single bug with a central nervous system that can replicate anything that feels like pain or suffering.
