He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals. -Immanuel Kant, philosopher (1724-1804)

I wonder if mosquitoes fall in that category. If they wouldn't insist on attempting to suck my blood, I wouldn't insist on hunting them with acetylene. ;-) Nah, I just swat them. There's not a lot of good eatin' on roast mosquito. :-p
