I get that this is probably mostly sarcastic humour, and I'm not trying to dispute the kernel of truth. No serious person loses sleep over our mass murder of malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

But there is a line _somewhere_ on the natural spectrum of life forms, from microorganisms, to plants, to bugs and vermin, to dogs, pigs, primates, and humans, where our attitude about loss of life and/or a miserable life changes. Where are you suggesting we put that line?
