    I can and I will. No /s. I’m 100% serious.

    Its pure evil and proof there is no god. I wish all parasitic creatures would fuck off and die. The world is fucked up enough as-is.

      Parasitic creatures play an important role in regulating the environment.

      A species with no checks will spread out of control, causing serious ecological damage. (I.e. Emerald ash borer, kudzu, tree of heaven)

      It may be gruesome from our perspective, but it’s just part of how nature regulates itself.

      How is parasitism any worse than straight up eating something else? Also, house cats kill for fun. Should they go extinct?

        I think there might be some anthropomorphism affecting the opinion, and I know a lot of people dislike "raising someone else’s children ", especially unknowingly.

        In humans, this mostly happens to men just due to biology, but I’m sure some women have experienced swapped kids.

        It’s not like those animals are betraying defined social constructs while knowing better, so i agree with you more on this, but that would be my best guess for someone reacting so emotionally to it.

        (Also there’s far worse things to use for the “no god” argument, like cancer and numerous other vicious diseases or syndromes)
