You walk outside and see a butterfly caught in a spider's web. Whatever you do, something dies.

I'd release the butterfly. I remember this old Disney cartoon where this mouse wants to fly, and when he... oh, just read it for yourself:

I would do nothing, and let nature take its course, so I voted to feed the spider. Not that I'd want to touch a disgusting old spider web, anyway...

feed the spider
it was bound to happen anyway and it'd be easier and freeing it wouldn't be fair for the spider's hard work

I say let the spider eat. It's nature that we shouldn't mess around with. Maybe it's supposed to be all a part of the great plan for that butterfly to die, for it might be carring some new type of disease.

Just leave it the way it is. It's all about nature, man. Survival of the fittest and all that jazz.

_________________

Indeed, survival of the fittest. The weaker species will be killed anyway by some other stronger species. You may say that even the stronger of the two species can be killed by man, but by that logic, we should be killing all insects and arachnids.

The weak die so the strong can live-there's no sense in the strong dying for the weak. Such is only achieved by those even stronger killing the strong and leaving the weak alone. It's more natural to have a strong species and those somewhat strong but not quite as much than it is to have a strong one and a weak one in abundance.

I would definitely let nature take its course.

Thank you, Knives.

(I'm talking to Perducci. This scenerio is from Trigun.)

Ah, but I wouldn't be killing the butterfly. The spider would.

I'd leave them to it. It's none of my business.

I AM VASH THE STAMPEED! no seriously, i look like him, and act like him. i would release the butterfly, and place a dead fly, or two in the spiders web, if no dead flys are available, the spider dies of starvation, but the Butterfly goe's on and lays eggs. so in turn, the spider would have given his life for several more. but of course, theres freewill....

_________________

I voted to save the butterfly...but upon further consideration, I'd like to change my vote to feeding the spider....my ex is terrified of spiders....heh heh heh heh.....

_________________

I accidentally clicked on "kill them both" instead of "feed the spider". It's just a butterfly, the world will be able to go on without it.

_________________

I'd probably kill the spider. Not to save the butterfly, but because I hate spiders.

I'd leave nature on its own. Don't want to overly disturb it. Can you imagine a giant cow smashing you because you were about to eat a juciy, red, tender, slow cooked flank steak?

_________________

If you left nature on its own, you would've cooked that steak. You'd be eating it raw!

_________________

Except it's in man's nature to cook. Haven't you seen those charcoal commercials?

_________________

Ah, yes, that's right. Who started cooking first again? The homo habilis or the homo erectus? I can't believe I forget this... hm...

Not homo erectus, man could cook before he came on the scene. I know Neanderthal man could cook but i dont know the scientific name.

I'd say free the butterfly.

The butterfly helps more plants to grow, and without those plants there would be less air, as well as more plant-eaters (and some of us) dying, eventually working up to all of us. Not good. It's only one butterfly, but still.

But then you're disturbing the natural order of things. The spider was meant to kill the butterfly. That's the way nature works. Predators kill prey.

I'd care more for us people than than all the lowlier animals and stuff. Seriously, I wouldn't die just to save a chipmunk. That's just stupid.

Nothing against butterflies, but I'd stay out of it. Let the spider eat, if it's gone to all the trouble of making a web.

Yeah, I think I'd prolly just ignore it anyways.

I don't particularily like spiders, but the butterfly should've looked where it was going.

Kill them both. No bugs or spiders should exist if you ask me.

^Great, even though bothe spider and the butterfly actually help us. -_-
