If they wonder why there is so much hate, they should look to the evil sister 'the mosquito'. Excuse my language, but 'the mosquito' is a little prick in my opinion. I spent days of my life putting on ointment to mend bite marks, avoiding the strong urge to scratch, and trying different methods of prevention from their annoying bites (lights, sticky things, spray, nets, etc.). I now look at them with a whole new level of distaste, which is shocking because I truly did at one point in my life admire their work in bringing on the possibility of Jurassic Park to my childhood imagination...DINO DNA! But those childhood dreams have long since been crushed by the cruel reality of their impact on human health...(though I still have a love for Jurassic Park, it's just not the same).
Pesky, annoying, female mosquitoes are the ones that need to obtain nutrients from a blood supply before she produces more bastard children to cause pain and misery. With 3,500 species of mosquitoes, I find it a badass idea to eradicate all of them (proven to have no serious consequences for any ecosystems), preventing a number of infectious diseases affecting millions of people a year. The mosquito works as a vector agent, carrying the disease causing viruses and parasites from person to person without catching the disease themselves. A few diseases that may pop to mind are yellow fever, dengue fever, Chikungunya and the big M word, Malaria. Transmitting disease to hundreds of millions people annually in Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico, Russia, and much of Asia with millions of resulting mortality and morbidity cases.
So I say just knock out the entire culicidae family, the insecta class won't miss them and mosquitoes have been giving them a bad rep for years, so it's probably more of a favor. For more information please visit: Mosquito.org or the CDC website for Mosquito borne diseases.
