Aviator, a bit of inside scoop to spice up : Did you knwo that cockroaches can survive without its head for seven days. And even then the only reason it'd die would be due to starvation. so you know, honestly speaking, if i were in your shoes, i wouldn't bother. If you use that logic, you're probably deriving those ants who probably worked half their lives to get that food somewhere. After all, they too have millions of mouth to feed. Don't you feel bad about it? or ants just too small for your HUMANE THOUGHTS? In a nutshell, let nature takes its course. It is the most sustainable thing. If you don't believe me..you've got to getyourself one of those DVD"s of planet earth and see how rainforest regulates itself.
