Which is a largely American trait. If something is alive and your first impression is that you'd like to kill it, you know you have little enough regard for life to move to, say, the US. I would have tried to communicate with the creature somehow - facial expressions, slow gestures. Killing is wrong in any case (And does anyone see a discrepancy between not wanting to destroy the spider's "home" and crushing the spider? I don't follow that), and anyone can surely see the illogic of killing something that's obviously and undocumented cryptid.
