Using screwworms, mosquitoes and invasive rodents as case studies, a team of researchers, including a Texas A&M professor, argues that deliberate full extinction is acceptable, but only rarely.
If you’re going to judge whether or not species are “okay” to go extinct because they cause harm, maybe realize that humans are also a species of animal.
This was the first thing I thought when I saw the headline. After mosquitoes, fuck mosquitoes (but maybe even they have a function to recycle iron from large land mammals into limnic water environments, idk).
