I know you probably didn't want a response to that. But well here I go..... I feel bad doing that kind of stuff too when I was a kid it tormented me to see how the other kids tortured bugs. and y'know I'm a vegetarian and all the rest.
Mosquitos though have always been the exception. I thought they were everyones exception. I met this little girl last week, she's 10 and when a mosquito lands on her she lets it take its fill and fly off, and she gets nasty bumps from them like the rest of us.
She just says that thats how they have to live and she doesn't mind. And her family life certainly hasn't taught her that kind of understanding... It makes me wonder if such a sensitive spirit is in for a long hard road.. what a terrible way to have to think.
