Can we just stop with this whole swatting mosquitoes meme? I think it's time for people to grow up and accept that all lives matter. No matter how small or inconsequential these precious creatures lives might seem to you and I, the fact remains that they are still living beings. Sentient, and of equal value to any other of the creatures on this Earth. Yeah, I know, I get it: they might cause you a minor annoyance at some point in your life. But your life will go on, and last much longer than theirs would have even without you cruelly, mercilessly "swatting" their life out in an instant for them doing literally nothing at all to you. I mean, sure they might bite you but that's just the mosquitoes way of trying to find food. They don't mean to bother you; they aren't trying to hurt you, unlike the way people happily try to harm them. Do you let your pets at home starve just because it costs money -- a minor inconvenience having to pay for it -- to feed them? No; that would be animal abuse. So maybe you shouldn't just murder every little insect you come across, for committing the "crime" of wanting to fucking continue to exist, did you ever think of that? Now, don't get me wrong. I hate bugs and insects in general as much as the next guy. But in these modern times is there really any room left for primitive, violent caveman solutions like swatting mosquitoes? That's no longer okay. So the next time you see a mosquito, you might try extending your tolerance and love for certain animals to be more inclusive of all animals, and allow the poor little fella do it's thing, and let it go on its way and live it's humble life in peace.
I always wondered what an aardvark's tongue would feel like in my anus

What kind of animal is in the pic?
its literally my job to genocide mosquitoes. are you the guy who said that you hoped i got a brain disease
>>2146628
I have an electric swatter, it's great. They never dodge it.
Mosquito larvae make a fantastic snack for tropical fish.

Best part is the little bastards never get to bite a soul.
>>2146836
Yep, as a bonus, the fish gets lots of much needed protein and iron.

Look, I'm fine with mosquitoes buzzing around and doing their thing out in the forest, but when they start biting me, they have officially entered the natural selection ring. if they can't bite me and escape without my notice, they will not pass on their genes.
mosquitoes dindu nuffin
they wuz gud bois
The only reason mosquitoes aren't extinct is because they are too resilient and numerous, just like cockroaches. They don't even have much of a role.

They're denying my agency to consent. I do not consent to being fed on. They're literal rapists.
How about that fact that it's not just an annoyance and they kill more humans then any other animal because of blood transfused diseases. More than a million people die each year from these fuckers.
We're just defending ourselves, I don't want tiny headed babies.
I actually make a point to not step on ants and take bugs outside and stuff.
But fuck mosquitoes. Until we either alter them to stop carrying this shit or kill the blood sucking ones (6%) they're going to be the cause of too much death in underdeveloped nations. It seems immoral not to do something if we can.

This article addresses both sides and different solutions. But you know what isn't one?
>allow the poor little fella do it's thing, and let it go on its way and live it's humble life in peace.
Your head is deep in the sand if you think this is ok
>>2146628
>implying any life is valuable.
Survival of the fittest breh. The definition of "fit" has changed throughout our evolution, but as it core it still very much stands. If you can't support yourself in the environment you live in you deserve to die and if you can't (or don't want to) procreate, your genes should be removed from the pool.
The reason we kill mosquitoes and find their buzzing annoying is because the people who did this had less change of attracting diseases like Malaria from them than people who didn't.

Mosquitos are annoying pest fags, and I would buy a flamethrower to kill them if it didn't burn my house down too
I just hope all mosquitos die or go on a mass migration to Somalia where they would probably fit right in
