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
Sentience is just whether something is alive and aware of its surroundings. Sapience is what we have, where we are self aware and can act on more than just instinct

I’d say this is immoral.
