Is it speciesist to swat mosquitoes? I'd swat a person if they tried to suck my blood...


You wouldn't kill them for it, though... probably. And you'd be in trouble if you did.


Well, to be fair, I think you could claim self-defence against someone attempting to practise vampirism on you. ;)

I see your point though; if a person were doing as little harm as a mosquito does, most people wouldn't kill them in retaliation.
