Mosquitos kill over a million people every year. Show them no mercy.
We kill more than a million non-human animals every year, even excluding mosquitos and what we eat. Like bycatch from fishing. We should not be shown any mercy.
I try not to harm bugs these days, even spiders, but when I see mosquitoes I become Doom Guy. They are one of the worst inventions of nature, and their being conscious would not help their argument for existence. Y'all shouldn't have bit me so many times.
"A society can be judged by the way it treats its mosquitos"
-- paraphrased from Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hey don’t generalize the entire population
Also it's not mosquitos' fault that deadly pathogens hop on the ride.
Aiding and abetting, that's what it is. Those mosquitos know what they are doing.
Must be quilt by association
Them being conscious doesn't change anything, they're assholes and they chose to fight you by biting you.
Probably start caring about what's on your plate before which bugs you squash, if you vow to care about consciousness, suffering and other beings.
