You guys are right.
Your mental well being is a small sacrifice compared to a forest full of life.
Except, sacrificing the mental well-being of a human - a species at the top of the food chain, capable of fashioning weapons of mass destruction from household items - would surely result in the destruction of said forest in a fiery blaze of glorious righteousness and purity!
Killing one spider every now and then would be preferable to torching the entire forest, but a mentally ill person might not be able to make that distinction.
