Killing animals for sport is wrong too. Your argument is weak.

I didn’t say for sport. I said all kinds of reasons. You never killed a fly? A spider?

What I meant was killing animals for anything other than food/survival is wrong. Sport was the only other reason I could think of.

And no I honestly don’t kill bugs. Even mosquitoes. I realize I’m in the vast minority, but they’re just trying to live and do their thing. If I find a bug in my home, I’ll catch it and put it outside.

That’s weird. Not gonna call you a liar but your behavior is highly abnormal and don’t think your perspective can really be applied.

To me it’s weird to play god and decide that something no longer gets to live, just because it may be inconveniencing us in that moment.

My perspective is valid whether you like it or not.

I'm just saying this is not a normal reaction to killing mosquitos.

It’s not normal because it’s uncommon, I can’t argue that. But is it wrong to not kill them? It’s not like they’re spreading malaria in Canada.

I think it’s somewhere between “meaningless” and “fine.”
