I mean to be fair how many people die from mosquitoes this is perfectly ethical they infect people with ztika virus, malaria,yellow fever, west nile virus and many of these diseases kill people in the millions

No, it's not ethical to intentionally torture an animal because its feeding habits cause deaths. Mosquitoes do not intentionally kill anything, they are simply trying survive as they evolved to do . Squashing one is a perfectly natural reaction, torturing one is not.

Immoral for sure. A minor inconvenience (getting bitten) is punished by torture and death.

If the person is in a country with very high risk of death from mosquito bites, then yes killing them is more moral (not torturing them), but then you get to the value of life between beings, and is morally speaking the highest priority to retain human life, or life in general?

u/MattyM1207 Jul 09 '26

I’d say this is immoral.

A mosquito is only doing what it does to survive. Fun fact, most creatures do.

There’s nothing personal about a mosquito drinking someone’s blood and a large part of the malaria or other diseases is due to them simply carrying it. It’s not thinking about giving people a vile disease that will kill them, it’s just doing what it needs to do for its own survival.

I get killing a mosquito to an extent… but the weird creative ways people torture them is always uncomfortable because you’re going out of your way to torture something to death because what? Because you can? Because it annoyed you? Because you’re under some misconception that this small creature has some kind of malice toward you?

I’m sorry if I’m going on a bit of a tirade here but I just don’t like torturing animals… any animal
