The taking of a life. The first Precept states One shall not kill.I beleive ,that taking a life wether it be human,sentient,is definitively against the precept.I let a mosquito take what he has to take,spiders are very usefull insects.Never forget that some karmas are transfered into the animal realm.Another reason for not killing sentient beings.A life is a life is alife.A killer will create karma,that shall follow him.
