Do you honestly think the ecosystem or the species cares about our intent? We (humans) are literally fishing entire species to extinction because we like the taste.
- b112 5y agoMy intent is, destroy mosquitoes and noseeums. Completely. I love nature more than most I know, but if there is evil on this earth, it's the mosquito. Here's one example. The woodpecker. Around here, its numbers swell when trees have pests under the bark. But soon, after a few years, they eat most of the grubs, and must find other food. They do. By pecking in the dirt, for bettle grubs, and worms, and so on. I'm sure their population will diminish, until more tree grubs appear. I'm OK with that. And frankly, if we kill all mosquitoes and noseeums, some things will starve out, some will adapt. But I hate mosquitoes so much, they kill so many, I am OK with some birds vanishing. I literally, like some general sending men to die in a push, am OK with that Die, mosquitoes. Die to extinction. Die regardless of the price, the cost. Die, even if they cause lateral gene exchange, and their extinction means we wither, and die too. Die mosquitoes. Die.
