killing butterflies for fun???

[Kenelm Philip]

My last posting was hit by the Leps-L truncation bug. This is what should
have been there--

	From the _butterflies'_ point of view, drivers are far more of a
menace, and most of the people who object to collecting would probably
like to think that they are 'speaking for the butterflies'.

Why is it OK to kill myriads of insects as we go about our lives, but
positively evil to pick out kill a single insect for one's curiosity
about the natural world? Curiosity about the natural world is how I go
about my life--so I fail to see the difference.
