People acting like animals should have a use or a purpose so that they have the right to continue existing is one of the most regressive and annoying things that I keep seeing fucking EVERYWHERE.
Animals should be allowed to live and are important for the simple fact that they are here and alive. You see it a lot with insects. Just because they are personally annoying to you doesn't mean they are less deserving of life. Everything interacts with everything else to keep the whole world ticking around, and it is not up to us to upset that. So what if mosquitoes annoy you. I don't give a shit. They shouldn't be blanket exterminated because of this. Not to mention the fact that they are important. They are pollinators, food for other animals, but even if they weren't, even if they just did nothing, that wouldn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to exist. What gives you the authority to decide that, huh? Why are you so special?
This goes for humans too, by the way. Why must a person contribute or work or whatever to be worthy of being loved and supported? They're alive, and therefore have inherent value. If you think that isn't enough, then you are the problem. Have some god damn compassion, or failing that, just keep quiet.
#I've seen one too many posts asking that the existence of certain animals be justified#as if that fucking matters#it's worth also saying that the majority of animals don't have the capacity for vindictiveness evil or the like#they aren't even bothering humans on purpose. A mosquito doesn't know that by biting someone it could make them sick#it just knows that it's hungry.#the soloution to vector borne illness is better access to better and cheaper healthcare and decent preventatives#bug nets vaccination etc#not indiscriminate culling#this shit gets me riled up I can't be nice about it. I don't want to be nice about it. I am sick of being nice about it!!!!
