  • I like turtles

  • Some people at my old school were right creeps. They used to crush ants or dig up worms and snap them in half. One time the gits even found a bird nest in a hedge so they crushed the eggs in it for no reson! Thats just sad, killing something that won't do anything back. And then they used to call me a nerd for writing stories about dragons........idiots......

  • -______________-

  • stupid,death is the same for ants??

  • stupid

  • This was wonderful and I wholeheartedly concur with the message!

    None of these arguments will wipe the smile from my face so have a nice day.

  • I'm not gonna hunt any whales, but I'm not going to go too far out of my way to dodge ants either. I'm not afraid of offending people though I hope not to. I'm also open to eating people because it wouldn't be fair to how I treat animals sometimes.

    so...get in my way and I MIGHT step on you. get around me when I'm hungry and I MIGHT eat you.

  • Ever been bitten by an ant? I have, and it's no picnic! Too many ants, gnats, flies, and other bugs of all types causing problems. Death to bugs!

  • pobrecita hormiga

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck seriously? You wouldn't be here right now if your very very VERY olf ancestors ate fucking animals and shit. It's them or you, I'm pretty sure I'm more important than a cow who just like fucking sits there all day eating grass and shit :\.

  • @kaleb821

    You wouldn't get milk if we didn't have cows think before you make stupid comments

  • @kaleb821

    You'd be surprised.

    No offence, but something as 'insignificant' as a little fruit bat or a bird is vital to the survival of human beings as well as biomes like tropical rainforests. If they all die, chances are we're all screwed and you can kiss your much "more important" ass goodbye, 'cause you'll be doomed to death by starvation ultimately.

    Turns out humans aren't the most important thing in the world after all. If anything we're the scum of the animal kingdom.

  • we kill insects and smaller animals out of fear. Afraid because it is so small that you won't know where it is, what it is doing or what it can potentially do. But some people get satisfaction from knowing they are stronger than something else. Killing it is their own proof.

  • I remember when I was little people dance on ants for fun... Scary

  • Ant, I'm sorry

    *BANG*(Gunshot)

  • OMG Pinky noooooooo!!!!

  • Nooooooo!!!!!

    pinky don't!!!

  • O.O

    pinky

    killed

    the

    ant

  • continuation - the only thing that separates ants from humans is the simple intelligence of the organism. THE END

  • A spirit is not i repeat NOT a real thing that exist or has not been proven to exist. how do i know this? well until it is proven scientifically that a spirit exist, it DOESN'T exist. Now before you think of some witty response such as "science is all a theory" think about how does a rocket get to the moon or how does a bullet fire or how does medicine work. then simply reply to my comment. so in the end nothing has a spirit so i am free to crush an ant with out any remorse.

  • Dear mcdudester911,

    If nothing has a spirit and you are free to kill anything that doesn't have a spirit without remorse, then you can kill your mother without remorse.

    Think about it. What is your reason for killing or not killing anything?

    It's a good thing to think about. Note that the episode ends with a joke which is strangely moving. It's a hint of sorts.

  • @mcdudester911

    You are right. But I would argue that the sientific name for 'spirit' would be 'contiousness'. That is what I think many people mean with the word 'spirit'.

    Ofc sience tells that the contiousness is created by the nervous system and doesn't 'go' anywhere when you die. But still, it's close enough to make ant 14C's point valid if you use that word instead.

  • @tothemax01

    Ants are probally more clever than you!

    If certain humans didn't kill ants they'd take over the world!

  • @TheCuddlycute0 yeh except for the parts with soil to rough to burrow in and to cold for them ;)

  • Nice thoughts.

    Now I know that animals understand it when we eat then. Just like we would if aliens came here to eat us. Specially if they had "no choice" (because we taste so good).

  • Some definitions:

    A) SUBLIME (transitive verb)

    1) to elevate or exalt especially in dignity or honor

    2) : to render finer (as in purity or excellence)

    3) : to convert (something inferior) into something of higher worth

    B) IRONY (noun)

    1) :(a) incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result

    1) :(b) an event or result marked by such incongruity

  • I have to say that speech was quite interesting.I like many others choose to peacefully co-exist with all the creatures of the earth.All though I fish and hunt these creatures I don't do it often.Any hoo the video was great,and the message was sound.Until next time this is goodbye.

  • FLAME WAR DOWN BELOW!!!

  • i'm sorry, ants. :(

  • Animals have no spirit? hahah okie doke, smoky

  • Dude God isn't real but everything has a soul and I kill ants yeah but it doesnt make it right just because you are more stupid than I am gives me the right to kill you too then? ^^;;

  • Human's have a larger sense in emotion then ants because our mammalian brain is larger.

    But...

    I'll try to avoid killing other species next time. Not because of some "life spirit" difference but because there are no particular benefit to killing ants. Only the psychological guilt will remain.

  • okay...that is really unfair because if you actually think about it...If an ant is super giant...without a doubt they will crush humans. so pinky you yourself are a cat...let me ask you do cats like to play and eventually killing mice? yes they do.

    thats just the law of nature...the strong will always bully the weak...the weak has only one to blame himself for being weak.

  • ya cats are great when you give a "toy". they are sasistic love em.

  • Lets go Pinky we love you....

    From Mexico...

  • We also understand you may require to remove our outer layer of skin, and wear it to remove yourself from the cold. Or to try and look sophisticated, whatever.

  • Ant spirit ~ human spirit? What the hell is a spirit?

    But yeah, it's good to respect all life, I would go on a lacto vegetarianism diet, but honestly it would be such a PITA :X

  • I've never seen a reason to crush a bug just because it's there. What's the point, really? Not only is it just plain mean and unnecessary, but it also leaves a mess. I don't want ant juice on my finger...

  • thats why you take a hot paper clip and sear his limbs off

  • GO VEGAN....and respect ALL life....Live and LET live.

  • GO MEAT.....and conquer ALL Steakhouse

  • GO VEGENS....and conquer the ENTIRE world.

  • Both you two have shitty spelling. :P GO .. BACK TO SCHOOL.

  • Hey teacher: "rafemanchoo82":

    I wrote it that way in purpose just to make sure "TheRedneckJunkie" can understand me.....I was VERY WELL aware of the wrong spelling and the style of the sentence when I wrote it.....Don't need you or anyone else to tell me how to spell things......

  • itz a dog eat dog world

    get over it

  • Karma is a bitch.

    If you killed an animal purposely without any value rather than "entertainment", after you died you will be ressurected as that animal and be killed by some other people.

    So if you crushed ant intentionally, you'll be reincarnated as that ant and get crushed.

    But then again, you can choose to believe in any system you want.

  • No when we die my dear all there is, is ego loss non of these silly beliefs i'm afraid.

  • I never got reincarnation because animals are not moral so how are you judged when you are reincarnated as a animal? How can you be a good lion karma wise? Only kill what you can eat? Be a value to your pride? Not saying it's a bad way to think I just don't get it.

  • Hey, Piece a SHIT Trias TheBetrayer:

    Go to hell.....

  • What about all the bacteria I kill when I wash my hands!? AH! Bacteria are living organisms too! It's like a holocaust everytime I wash my hands!

    LoL

  • true. :)

  • Exactly, I like animals. animals... Insects well guess what ANTS! i have friends who enjoy watching me stomp you and smear your pathetic bodies under my feet or in my sandals yes thats right me and others make videos from doing this in the fetish scene. hehe

  • Come on, riethc, you must see the huge difference between animals and bacteria. Pinky mentioned that animals can suffer and they have emotions, while bacteria, as far as we know, does not. Also, we have no choice but to kill bacteria on our hands and body; otherwise, that bacteria will kill/harm us. I could go on, but I just wanted to point out how silly your statement is.

  • well for all the stuff that can kill us, we get vaccinated. all the stuff on our hands, will harm us, make us sick, but ultimately render our immune system stronger. actually you could argue that NOT washing your hands with antibacterial soap is healthier

  • Excellent video!

  • Ant 14c didn't have to kill himself. I heard the message before that.

  • Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeepy....

    I feel ur pain ant 14c... much love brother!!!

  • Poor 14c.

    Anyway.

    We humans do not need to know this information.

    When we are bothered by something that we simply can't expell, there is nothing to do except kill it.

    But I agree highly that meaningless ant killing is bad.

  • seriously though, i used to have some pretty dumb fucking friends who would just squish ants during lunch when they were bored. what the hell?? there's no point in that. same idiots who feel the need to write 'hi' everywhere when they get their hands on a sharpie or a pencil..

    i'm not some crazy animal lover but i'm definitely aware of it when something is completely unnecessary. i can understand killing insects etc when they're invading your house and getting into your food, but for boredom??

  • Respect for Animals = Respect for Life in general.

    **

    How would we (people) like it if a super intelligent race from outer space came to Earth and killed us just for laughs???

    WE are so hypocritical about "civility",

    ...Thank you, Pinky

  • An awesome video from an ant's perspective about the incredible prejudice and ignorance humans show towards ants, animals and nature in general! Great job Pinkyshow! Also, for the incredibly stupid people who don't understand this video or are so arrogant to think they are above ants or any other creatures on this earth I feel really sorry for you. Ants were here long before humans and I'm sure they'll be here long after us!

  • Nooo!! Ant14C, don't die!

  • I smoosh them because they invade my home by the THOUSANDS,,,if anything did that i would exhibit a lesson - are just not smart enough to learn.

  • So you smosh them becuse they invade your home. Much like we invaded the Native American's home? No, I think it is us who are unable to learn from our own repitition and hipocracy.

  • who's we? I didn't invade anyone's home....I was born here....and neither did my ancestors...they came over on the boat a couple generations back

  • pinky crushed 14c for a tv show !!

    now thats sick

  • foot SMASH!

  • and exactly who and why then

  • are you retarded john, this video is exactly right. Only thing i dont agree about is when he says "treat us" We are all animals, so it would be treat eachother

  • I have a priority in my consideration for critters...if it isn't harming me I don't go out of my way to harm them. Mosquitos, invading armies of ants in my kitchen, biting flies...it's open season. Spiders can stay unless they get cheeky. Cool bugs get caught and escorted out of the house.

  • one ant is not a full individual. it's a disconnected piece of a body, the 'superorganism', which is it's colony.

  • omg i am never gonna kill ant ant on purpose any more!!=)

  • ill never randomly crush another ant again just because i see him. lol.

    thank you ant 14c

  • A message from Heinrich's ant farm: your (Pinko's) ants are hippy, liberal douche bags. I only hope my "red-blooded" American ants will send yours to Hell. Heinrich

  • Dude, listen. Let me come over. It'll be like a peace mission, right? Only like I'll bring some great weed, maybe some e if I can remember where I put it. We can sign a treaty or something. Order some pizza. Hang out.

    We grow some sick sensamilla in our tunnels over here. You have to know the secret, though. It's like a shamanistic thing. Even if we told you how to do it, it wouldn't make sense to you. Only we know how to grow it, really.

    But we'll always have plenty for you guys. :)

  • My perspective is based on the principle that survival is the reference point of judgement...and the competition for it among species... i.e.- Bees make honey, butterflies eat leaves, none go after us nor put us at any defecit. Flies spread bacteria and disease on our foods, and mosquitos specifically target us to drink our blood, spread viruses into our skin, after which "biting" us, leaves its saliva in our skin, causing the bump and itchy irritation we dread.

  • THOSE are the ones I kill. They pose a threat to our lives and wellbeing, and survival.(Funny to think more of a threat to our survival then Saddam was, which you are fighting a WAR over, spending HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS...Haha-"america")

  • pinky... you didnt have to do that!

  • Well since it didn't show it, I think Pinky said sorry for not crushing the ant as requested, and instead the sound was that she bit into a cupcake instead.

  • Whenever I need inspiration to keep to the Bodhisattva path I come back here and listen to the Ant. He is an old soul.

    Also an endangered species. Habitat loss has been tough on the rare Blue Desert Ant. Pretty soon they will be extinct in the wild and Pinky's may be the last breeding population on the planet. I hope they can learn to control their noble suicidal tendencies. And Pinky can learn to control her noble murderous ones.

    May this post lead to the liberation of all sentient insects.

  • I am a closet blue ant in hiding. We are starting a liberation front as we type this. ( It took 15 of us to do this. ) That big black boot reminds us of the govt. Who rapes our paychecks. We will avenge 14C. Pinky is keeping us hostage. She made us slaves for cheap labor for her videos. Join us internationallawman we need bigger representation to squash Pinkys brutal tactics. Kill Pinky and we will use her house as habitat.

  • Lead us intlman. The old ant you seak has been squashed by Pinky's black boot. Have you no compasion for the blue ant? Pinky has oppressed the blue ant race and enslaved us. We write for Pinky not us anymore. Represent the blue ant so we don't have to resort to suicide bombings and flatulence to leave this plastic prison camp.

  • That won't ever happen people will never learn they're egoistic and selfish to understand. Poor ant.

  • why'd u have to go little ant...

    =(

  • ... interesting. For a while now, part of my justification of my opposition to animal rights was that we see stuff about the "rights" of dogs and cats and not about smaller creatures like ants, (saw inconsistency in that) but for the first time in a while (last time was when I read the C&H strip about ants squishing cities) I get to see animal rights applied to ants. At the moment I still disagree with animal rights (although my mind is constantly changing) but it's nice to see some consistency.

  • It is an evolutionary instinct that human beings will go out of their way to terminate the lives of insects because insects can often carry diseases, spoil and exhaust human food supplies and cause damage to human bodies and shelter.

  • well i do know that dogs have feelings but only dogs cuz they rule

    XD

  • and yet...i do not care.

  • Where is the representation for cold and flu viruses? They have feelings and souls too.

    *snicker*

  • no they dont, dont be dumb

  • it is only as dumb as the idea that ants have feelings.

  • Like physical or emotional. Because im pretty sure they have physical ones, plz dont tell me you dont...

  • I don't what?

    I don't fall for bleeding-heart liberals attempts to instill humanity into animals?

  • No one is trying to instill humanity into them. Pain and fear is not solely felt by humans. Besides what is humanity? whatever it is you dont have it, so can i crush you?

  • If you are so worried about pain and fear in animals, then how can you sleep at night with all of the predator-and-prey stuff happening in the wild? You have to go stop it!  If you don't try, then you are willfully allowing it to happen, and are therefore responsible!

    See how silly your logic is?

    Silly bleeding-heart animal rights activists...

  • God your just too fucken ignorant. Just go about being a mindless sack of walking shit. Some people you just cant teach. its koo im sure your a nobody anyways

  • Your profane language and dismal English skills just bleed humanity and civility from your pores. And it shows just how legitimate your arguments are.

  • You know what you sound like on your earlier comment? "if you like it so much why dont you marry it!" Im not gonna talk to a kid like that.

  • I would love to debate you on national TV. I wouldn't even have to try to make you look like an idiot. You can do that all by yourself.

  • Bleeding heart liberals and also Buddhists.

    And Jainists. Some hindus. Animists.

    Anyway obviously animals have feelings, some have complex social structures, and therefore obviously have a sense of self. However you are right about the natural world. That is the difference between our obligations to humans and to non-humans.

    Crushing the ant for emphasis is the second joke I have found in the pinky opus.

    (ants don't really have feeling. But parrots can do arithmetic.)

  • I prefer the Bible as the authority on how to treat animals. They can be used as food and beasts of burden, bought and sold, etc.

  • Don't forget sacrificial uses.

    Numbers 28 3:6

    This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

    The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even... It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

    The Bible is quite exotic in places.

  • I can't tell if you are trying to debate, but if you were, you would have had to show how the Bible endorsed a no-hunting-animals policy for people. It doesn't.

  • My point was that if you used the Bible as a guide to the treatment of animals you would be ritually sacrificing lambs and cattle to the Lord.

    Do you think that's acceptable? If there were a Christian sect that ritually slaughtered masses of cattle and lamb, would you say that was acceptable, like hunting?

    It would be against the law in most states. There is religion called Santeria that was into animal sacrifice and they were always getting arrested.

  • You have heard of the New Testament? Animal sacrifice is no longer necessary. But we can still eat them.

  • i think that pinkys shows on the war in iraq and stuff are all good and all but this video is ridiculas. I mean for one shes being a hypocrit because she has an ant farm WTF. humans are the dominants species on earth. Its nature, and maby ants should stop biting children and invading house holds and in some cases driving famlies from there homes.

  • you need to get a life, pinky is a cartoon cat, and the last i checked cartoon cats can't be hypocrites!! i felt bad for the ant though, it kind of reminded me of the monks who imolated themselves in vietnam in the 70's. now there's an episode for you pinky, draw a correllation between those monks and suicide bombers...that would be a neat episode.

  • I need to get a life? I think the people who make this show ultimitley need to get a life.

  • "Its nature, and maby ants should stop biting children and invading house holds and in some cases driving famlies from there homes."

    do you not realize how ridiculous THIS is?! ants are ants, not criminals, and it is an outrageous thing to say that humans are the "dominant species" as if there is such a thing. just because we fuck up the environment and kill each other and make ugly furs out of other animals, we are NOWHERE NEAR being "dominant" in any way.

  • What i say is very true. and we are the dominant species on earth. This topic is ridiculas. It makes no sense. And if we have to respect nature how come pinky keeps an ant farm???

  • lots of PETA members proudly keep dogs and cats in their home, they're better off with someone who'll respect them, in my view.

    again, we are not "dominant" and saying such a thing is being naive and ignorant.

    what you're saying is patheticly untrue.

  • You do not realise what dominant means? we are the main life form on earth, ask a scientest. We are the dominant species

  • "main life form"... in what respect?

  • Ah! No! Instant martyrdom!

    Great points tho. I love it.

  • Ill respect ants, the minute they stop invading my bloody house! Untill then, I will keep a fully stocked inventory of Raid and Terro.

  • My mom once fell in an ant pile and they bit her. Whoever harms my mom MUST DIIIIIIIEEEEE!!! XD lol

  • I am thinking your profile age lies...

  • And your basing this on... What? My writing style. You smarmy fuck.

  • "ant, i'm sorry." was pinky just "following orders"? if pinky wanted to make her point about the value of life, she would not have crushed the ant regardless of the ant's command. pinky goes to trial.

  • Pinky

    BAD pINKY TO TRIAL YOU GO

    OFF WITH YOUR FRICKEN HEAD

  • perhaps crushing by elephant?

  • Is having an ant farm humane? How is it different from the circus or at the zoo? Wouldn't the ants rather be free in nature? I would like to hear the ants statement on these questions.

  • They do this because it is easier to examine animal behavior/body language or characteristics up close and personal. I think as long as you aren't torturing or intentionally harming the animal in any way, then it is fine. However, animals born in captivity are deprived from learning the old fashion way of how their environment functions and, once (if ever) released back into the suitable environment, they may not be able to survive simply because they lack the individual knowledge.

  • hmm, martyr ant

  • Are you just out for a reaction? I think your words are deliberately intended to provoke. The only reaction you will get from me is that you should think of more insults.. 'bed-wetting moonbat' is getting kinda tired. And rather than trying to get self-worth from provoking others, try doing something productive with your life.

  • sad.

    i feel bad for pinky. having to crush one of her ants:'(

  • Hey pinky can you talk about the route of all evil? And thank you for your compassion.

  • yep, lets just keep seeing the world in black and white! ignorrance and misunderstanding are what got the world this far right? i mean, if people werent constantly biching about other people we wouldnt know who to direct our hatred at! we need to do that, otherwise we might actually be forced to consider other human beings! we cant let that happen!

  • black and white do exist.

    proof: opposites

    proof: happiness/sadness

    up/down

    day/night

    hot/cold

    ignorance/enlightenment

    rawanger falls into which category class?

  • there isnt black and white in politics.

  • why do you say that?

  • america says it stand for freedom, yet it supports dictaterships. hitler rose to power by exploiting german anger over the treaty of versailles wich was drafted by the allies. america invades iraq for what appears to be money, but cant leave because they would be starting world war 3(potentially), these are just some of many examples in this confusing and chaotic world.

  • politics are all about manly power.

    one big pissin' contest.

    that's about as black and white as it gets.

    it's Neanderthalic and only harbours dire consequences.

  • yes, but that dosint change the fact that there is no definet good or evil when it comes to matters like that.

  • ahhh to be young and blissfully ignorant again.

    talk to be again when you have a few decades under your belt sploog. till then -farewell.

  • im kind of confused as to why you are arguing even though you pretty much already agreed with me in a previous comment. can you explain?

  • dam how cute pinky and his friends are and funny these vids can b..... they sure can b grim as well.

  • you guys are silly, lol.

  • ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.

  • Dear PrayingForWar. I am praying for a direct meteor strike, with you being it's intended goal.

    I am not a moonbat.

    I do not wet the bed.

    All life is sacred, with possibly one exception...that being you.

  • Alright. But when I step on you and talk about you like that, don't cry.

  • i'm against abortion ...

    and ffs, if you see a lost animal, you don't kill it, you send it to a kennel to be picked up or to the RSPCA to be looked after. What happens when Mr Smith loses his dog one morning, fails to find him/her, checks with the RSPCA, the kennel, and all his friends and no-one's seen the poor bugger. Then when he's just walking along he finds the dog's dead carcass, killed by some bastard who thinks anything annoying that isn't human is to be killed.

  • Thank you. You seem to have a normal, functioning brain, unlike the person you responded to who is only a reactionary, not a true thinker.

  • I have every right to protect my personal property and space from any intruder. That includes ants. So my message to the ant is to keep off my body and property or I will defend my body and my property.

  • It doesn't know better. And you dont have a right to take justice into your own hands especially on a group or individual that does not have the ability to stand up for itself or even understand -.-. If you're going to make this political, get it right.

  • I do have the right to take justice into my hands. Justice implies legal right, and I very much have that right as it applies to an ant.

  • You can just as likely sue a tree. It can't respond, or understand for that matter. But it is alive.

  • ...ever wonder if we are just all a part of a micro organism, existing on a planet that is smaller than the nucleus of a cell and that it is only a matter of time before we irritate the host and it scratches us all off into oblivion?

    ... or maybe it's just waiting for the "kill" scale to tip and then...wham! karma

  • Thats exactly what I think! That earth is just a molecule of matter on the butt of a giant alien, just like there is living things on our butts.

    if you think about it you can't prove it wrong.

  • The burdon is on the person presenting the theory to proove it. In this case the theory is that we are all a cell on a larger being, and that would mean that puppylawsuit needs to proove that is the case. The scientific method requires no action from us to proove it wrong. His failure to proove it right is all that is needed.

  • As tamarin said.

    we can't proove it.... and that's why so many people believe in a diety or dieties. The "fill in god here theory".

  • i occasionally kill flies if they're annoying (although i've developped a talent of catching them in my hand without hurting them so i can let them out the door or window :3), but ever since i watched this ages ago, i've always felt guilty about killing them T__T

  • all life is sacred. it is what the native americans believed and what we should also hold in our hearts.

  • Ants are capable of suffering?

    This begs the question, do ants feel pain?

    Ants bodies are small, do they have room for nerves?

    Ants have small bodies, is there enough room for a spine to conduct pain?

    Is there any proof of ants showing emotion?

    How aware of existence are ants?

    Ants bite me. Is there reasonable evidence that killing an ant is any more bothersome to the ant than it is to be being bitten?

  • to lonKitten

    if there moving theyre alive.

    if theyre alive they have a beating heart.

    if they have a beating heart they can feel pain.

  • If you think that you obviously don't know much about biology or neurology... or logic.

  • I think a problem here is that when people make arguments such as these, they have already decided on the answer, and more than really asking are just looking for validation. There may be no proof that ants suffer, but there is no real evidence that they do not. Don't forget humans only look with human eyes - that works both ways! Just because we can't see a way ants could suffer in human terms, does not mean ants do not feel pain or anxiety as they are dying.

  • But we have already picked apart and examined brains of humans, and many other animals. For the most part we know how nervous systems work, how cognition works, there is no question about ants feeling pain or anxiety.

    I would take it as an insult to our species that anyone would compare the two. Come on, and ant brain and a human brain have almost nothing in common. Even the most "enlightened" peta types here should be able to figure that out.

  • Yes, thats right, turn to slander when your arguments fail, Surbrus.. :D

  • lol what? slander? :P

    But anyways, obviously two very different ways of looking at something I guess. My opinion on most things will only change if science finds something new to the contrary.

  • VEGAN FOR LIFE!!!!

  • ants really don't live that long anyway, do they? And there is one animal that can be justifiably killed because it has no justifiable purpose: the mosquito. The damned mosquito is a pointless, useless bug. And it should be genocided. This is the only time when I believe genocide is the answer. When referring to mosquitos.

  • Same could be said with any animal.

  • damn straight! i hate mosquitos!

  • Mosquitos actually do serve a purpose: they are a bountiful food supply for animals that eat insects, such as bats, spiders, and other animals that have more "valid" purposes.

  • THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO!!! People have an impulse to always say something back confronting everything... that's not good. Sometimes, there is nothing to say. This video is so true, and so profound. It's not enough to just be intellectual to truly understand its meaning. It's by returning to the source, as we are human beings, and look at this in a life and death perspective.

  • These comments seem like a peta fest or something. Come on, comparing insects to humans?

    The only bugs I don't kill are the ones that are helpful (pollinaters, earthworms) and ones that kill other bugs (spiders, wasps, etc). Sometimes I avoid stepping on insects though, if I don't want to get their carcases on my footwear.

  • Surbrus, although it is hard for you to accept, all life on earth is symbiotic. That means all life is interconnected in a 'web'. All things serve their purpose, no matter how insignificant they might seem. And before you say it, their purpose is not to be crushed by you... Why just post here to be destructive?
