Like is it avoided or might you kill flies to prevent flystrike. Or is it ignored when you’ll inevitably kill some small bugs/insects
I wonder why the flies are on strike. Also our view of animals and how we think of their worth might depend on how we define intelligence. If we think that a cow is an intelligent being then we might think that it’s wrong to kill it and eat it. If we think that a cockroach has no intelligence then there’s no reason not to kill it. If we believe that all life on the planet has intelligence or what you might consider a soul or a spark of life whatever you want to call it then you might be a verse to killing anything. I’m not sure where you draw the line.

Jainism, which has nothing to do with the mud planet folk hero, is so strict about nonviolence that Jains will not eat root vegetables because harvesting it would kill the plant.
