    mosquitos have killed more humans than any other animal or disease ever. you might change your mind about them if your child died due to them, but luckily you probably won’t ever have to experience that because of privilege.

      Ok girl, I get your point but I don’t think we should eradicate a whole species for our convenience, I’d rather we give the people access to healthcare so that the illnesses carried by mosquitoes don’t kill anymore.

      By the way I’m actually allergic to getting stung by these pests, if one decides to go for my neck I go to the ER.

        doing something to save countless human lives isn’t doing something “for convenience”. also, “just give people access to healthcare”? how would you do that? there’s regions where people don’t even have clean drinking water. it’s simply not possible to just give all of humanity healthcare.
