If they protest zapping mosquitos to save people from malaria PETA can go volunteer their bare asses as mosquito bait for the third world.

I think about ways to have fun with PETA. Like at a protest, suddenly give them all crates of bug spray. Then say "we are releasing mosquitos with malaria in 10 seconds. We have enclosed you with a circle of people who have their own bug spray. Good luck."

Great that is helps, but to be honest there is too many people on this earth and we keep saving as many as we can -- which is good. But maybe sometimes we should just let nature act? I mean we're destroying the world at an alarming rate, do we really need MORE living people in Africa fighting over the little amount of water they barely have?Just pointing out somethings here.

Left wing nut jobs banned DDT because it killed a few people but saved millions. Why not use it instead of this ridiculous laser system?
