Today, after moving in with a couple of vegan zoologists a few weeks ago, I discover that they don't believe that we have the right to kill cockroaches, and will not allow me to do so. The house is infested, and it's spread to my bedroom. FML

I don't care if they don't want cockroaches to die; I would go nuclear on those nasty creatures.

Kill them and hide the corpses. They'll never know :)

If you have a landlord, that's who you need to contact. If not, it's time to move.

Uhhhhhh............Time to find a new place to live. Disgusting!!

For a short term solution, you can trap the cockroaches you find and take them outside, faraway from where you live. For a long term solution, cut off their food supply, and their numbers should begin to dwindle. As your roommates know you don't share their views, they should be more than willing to help you in order to save their helpless guests. You are being very kind by not squishing the roaches behind their backs. I'm a vegetarian pre-vet student who also believes in respecting all life, and I know it can be difficult for other people to understand why we do what we do, so if they expect you to live as they do maybe you should see about getting a new place.

"cut off their food supply" Good luck with that. Even if you don't leave a single crumb of food laying around, cockroaches will have a food supply. They can be active for months without food, regardless.

That's what you get for living with both vegans and zoologists

do it anyway, there's plenty more where they came from or get a lawyer and break the lease

Who cares? You have a voice, too, don't you? It's not their choice; it's yours.

Umm. Here's two options: 1. Move out 2. Who gives a damn kill 'em anyways

call health services, they would condemn the house maybe, or kill the roaches urself, or simplest solution is move.
