Odysseus doesn't respect the cyclopses because he sees them as uncivilized. Because of their uncivilized ways, these monsters have no seamanship and let their fertile land go to waste. All they do is tend flocks of sheep. He does not think they deserved to be killed.

Think about it, they live on the same island all their lives while Odysseus is out on the open see trying to get back home to Ithica. no.............odysseus thinks they are disorganized and filthy creatures......and a bunch of other things
