It seems only cute animals deserve to be saved, and disease carrying ones eliminated. Whereas I hate mosquitoes as much as anyone, but they do have their ecological place. Pandas on the other hand...are suspect.
- sdfx 16y agoI agree that the effort and money spent on conservation is skewed in favor of cute and furry animals. But there is a real upside to getting rid of mosquitoes. From the article: Malaria infects some 247 million people worldwide each year, and kills nearly one million. Mosquitoes cause a huge further medical and financial burden by spreading yellow fever, dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, Rift Valley fever, Chikungunya virus and West Nile virus.
