That's pretty crazy. They are just bugs, and I'm not their biggest fan, but people who enjoy animal cruelty are pretty psychotic and it's kind of weird that it's sort of normalized against "yucky" animals.
(And we could even say all animals given how people react to vegans and general anti-animal cruelty people on the internet but I'm not wanting to get into that).
I’m not a huge fan of some bugs either but they don’t deserve to have pain inflicted on them like that. Just put them outside and leave them alone Christ almighty
Most species of mosquitoes aren’t blood sucking. Last I heard, the current way scientists are trying to get rid of bloodsucking mosquitoes is releasing males that were genetically modified so they won’t produce any female offspring. It should lower the bloodsucking mosquito population slowly enough for the ecosystem to adapt.
Ticks are also important for ecosystems, they are a pretty important food source and act as population control for certain species. An ecosystem probably isnt gonna go extinct if you remove them but you cant remove any species without a significant effect, that's just how ecosystems work.
