    Mosquitos are almost parasites and are vectors for disease. It’s a pretty different relationship we have with them.

      Well, let’s unpack this thought then.

      Pigs (you know, the animal that bacon actually comes from) mostly live off of human waste (aka garbage). They are the origin of the H1N1 virus (also known as the flu) and when not contained they are considered absolute pests.

      How are they different than mosquitos again?

          Wait, you don’t want to come to my mosquito farm and pet the skeeters???

          You can even play with the baby skeeters in the huge brackish water pond in the back! It’s completely free of predators!
