Why would someone suggest killing a spider rather than throwing it out of the window?

I was out with two of my friends a few days ago. One of them (‘Friend A’) was speaking about a spider that was in her room, and how they had to throw it out of the window to get rid of it. I didn’t totally hear what my second friend (‘Friend B’) said in response, but ‘Friend A’ said in reply ‘I don’t like killing things’. Therefore ‘Friend B’ must have said something about having should have killed it instead of throwing it out of the window. Why would have ‘Friend B’ said this? Why would they suggest killing a spider rather than just throwing it out of a window?

  • Because people are lazy, or don't care about the biosphere, or are afraid of spiders, or any combination of those things.

    If I need to remove one from my house I prefer to use the upturned glass and piece of paper method to try to avoid injuring it. I'll take it outside and gently release it into some suitable habitat.
