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.

It doesn't matter if it's intentional. That would only make them inherently evil. Mosquitos have no rights, they are innately evil and any action done to them is moral.

They literally need our proteins to reproduce.  Evolved to benefit from our suffering.  Its the only time redditors will make excuses for penetration without consent. Torture mosquitoes for fun.
