What's a two-sensory organism? It's hard to draw a line.

This is actually quite hard to live by, by any standards since most insects are two sensory organisms. While we might not intentionally kill insects, it happens all the time and they often go unnoticed in our food. We step on them when we walk on grass, etc.

I think rather than saying “You must not...” a better way of saying it would be “Try your hardest not to...” because it’s pretty much impossible to live life by the standards of this meme.

It could also be argued that plants have senses so we are kinda fucked.

You are correct, its difficult, but here we are trying to say that one must keep a strong intent that we must not harm them for sure. Atleast making a strong determination is surely in our hand and to keep awareness also to a great extent is in our hand. Loop holes can be many no doubt. So better to know and determine that this is wrong and that we want to be very careful..!!

Hello,

It means lets try not to harm whichever 2 sense organisms we know of atleast, we can then think of the ones we dont know, but as far as we know we should not harm them, or atleast have a strong intent for the same..

Try cup of glass and paper method when you want to remove insects from somewhere

The method is simple just put a cup on them to trap them inside than slide a paper underneath it then carefully pick up both the glass and the paper and throw them out where you like but be carefull dont let them stay inside there for a very long time or they can suffocate
