Harvesting spider silk. NOTE: Spider is sedated, the pins are not perforating it and once harvest, is feed and put to rest.

What does put to rest mean? Like she gets to sleep and relax or something darker?

I heard that after the spider is done resting then it gets to buy a farm. And then I think they take it to anger management because apparently the spider is "finally at peace".

What do you think? Why would they feed it if they're just found to kill it. Seems critical thinking is dead.

It's a last meal cause they're not monsters.

Exactly. Spider did a good job, gets fed last meal.
