Everything? Does that include every plant and every slug?

Yes

[top posting corrected]

So you respect plants by allowing them to be eaten by slugs and you
respect slugs by killing or starving them?

The moment you picked up a spade to plant something you have chosen to
kill something else. It is at best naive to believe that you are in
some way exempt from the chains of cause and effect that exist in the
rest of the universe.
