I think we can nuke the species that does and still get by.

I think people in China had similar ideas about sparrows... Nature is immensely complex and I can't think of a single instance in which human Intervention improved anything at all

That's fair. I'm entirely uninformed on the sparrows but I do understand nature is an endlessly complex system which we do not and probably can not ever truly understand. Not trying to be absolutist.

But I do wish death on every blood sucking mosquito.
