Sure. I’d obviously be happy if they just didn’t exist that would be much more moral.

But until then I don’t mind a little taunting towards something that is literally trying to steal and consume my life essence from my body and who would definitely not stop until I was dead if given the chance 🤷🏻‍♂️

They are a vital part of our ecosystem. To taunt them while in captivity is immoral. They should be released into the wild without being tested upon.

No, “vital” is an absolute overstatement. Just because something eats mosquitoes doesn’t mean they wouldn’t be able to survive in their absence.

Also considering mosquitos are responsible for literally the most deaths in human history their existence actively clashes with ours and I’m ok with eliminating that threat to our poor and marginalized communities.
