People who genuinely ascribe a moral value to specific animals are so strange to me.
Like, if you're genuinely just joking I get it. I love centipedes, but I do also like to joke that they're made of hate, just because of personal experiences. But I am joking.
And they can actually be quite loving parents, they are themselves beautiful and fascinating creatures (toxicognaths are great).
Like, ticks aren't evil guys. They're just hungry.
Dolphins aren't evil, or at least not any more evil than we are. And we aren't evil either, just as a side note.
Mosquitos? Take a guess what I'm gonna say next.
Even the animal you hate most? It's not evil. It has a right to live.
Do you think bed bugs are rubbing their hands together, cackling about how they're gonna torment mankind next? Nah, they just wanna feed and fuck. Which is a mood honestly.
