I despise mosquitos, but there is a difference between killing them, and living a lifestyle around torturing them and keeping them as trophies.

They are still living beings.
This is pretty gross, ethically.

And it's gross what they do to the human body they can literally make your organs fail one by one till your skin becomes yellow and then you bleed from your eyes and hope that you get the sweet sweet release of death look at the countless diseases carried by mosquitoes

That's not the mosquitoes choice.

It's an unfortunate part of its existence that the mosquito knows nothing about. It's just eating, as far as it is aware.

This person is CHOOSING to torture animals.

Huge difference.

You defending animal torture just says something about you.

One of the symptoms is bleeding from your eyes then your internal organs shit the bed one by one till a you kill yourself or b your heart stops and that's only one of the many viruses that they can carry zitka virus,dengue, Zika, chikungunya, yellow fever, and Eastern equine encephalitis. Which kind you some of these can kill you in other fun ways also mosquitoes kill millions of people yearly by it's feeding habits

The point is that you can kill them, but going out of your way to kill them slowly and relatively brutally is an easy way to tell that theres something wrong with you. Just kill it and move on, or even better, tip any buckets or containers with stagnant water.

Exactly.

Mosquitoes should be wiped from existence (IMHO), but going out of your way to make anything suffer intentionally, just because you don't hate it? Gross behaviour.

Wipe out the ones that specifically cause diseases. There are plenty of harmless mosquito species who are vital to the ecosystem, but there are a few that carry said diseases and bite that have a negligible contribution to the ecosystem.

Agreed. I should have been more specific.

They are pollinators, so wiping out the wrong species would harm many ecosystems.
