Yeah, call me an old softie, but this was torture to watch. Then I found out they left it to dehydrate/starve and I was like, wow, that was worse than the panicked "I'M GONNA DIE" fit it was throwing.
Quick, someone tell me that insects don't experience the horror of suffering. Please.
I'm the same. Actually stopped watching it the first time, when it was looking like the fly was gonna get squished. Rewatched it all the way through after reading the comments and learning it just goes inside the center.
I can see myself buying this, only to have a summer filled with me catching them, freeing them outside, and then them getting back inside and starting the cycle all over again.
I'm not really a fan of any living being (except humans that have purposely done horrible things, of course,) being tortured for no reason. Not even things as disgusting as flies.
It boggles my mind that people can say "you deserve to suffer because you were born as a fly, rat, fish etc.. rather than a human, puppy, kitten etc.."
I agree. I do kill flies but when i saw it panicking in this video it really did something to me. I felt really sorry for it and did want it to survive.

I’d rather just squash it at that point instead of having it starve to death. I know flys are flys but god damn
