99% of humans have the complete opposite reaction when the animal in question is a mosquito.

Ok but idk if the flying atrocities that are mosquitoes deserve a title as high as "animal" tho

Mosquito genocide is the one kind of genocide that I am totally fine with. Hell, I'll participate in it with glee.

An animal is a particular kind of living organism, one that can move voluntarily and can find and digest food.
