#a yes the treat of exterminating an entire species over a sligth annoyance
Text
HUMANS ARE SPACE ORCS: TREAT OF EXTERMINATION
Alien: sorry to interrup... whatever you're doing... but what exactly are "mosquitoes"?
Human: *stops trying to lick elbow* you mean mosquitoes? Oh those are a species of insects with an itchy bite that suck your blood when you are distracted
Alien: wait WHAT? you mean that there is a creature that would suck the blood out of you?!
Human: yea i don't think there is human that has never been bitten by one
Alien: you mean that having your blood, the fluid that keeps you alive, sucked by an insect is a COMPLITELY COMMON experience for a human?!
Human: pretty much
Alien: how do you survive that? From what i understoad humans die if they lose too much blood
Human: that's true, but mosquitoes are actualy really small and take an insignificant amount of blood, what is really annoying is that their bite is itchy
Alien: oh, that doesn't seam like that much of a pro-
Human: but you could also get infected with a likely fatal parasite
Alien: WHAT?!
Human: yea they carry some real nasty parasites, that's why them and parasites kill so many peoples in less developed countries.
Alien: wait so are you telling me that a single minuscle insect that can suck your blood whitout you noticing can infect you with a mortal parasite or illness?!
Humans: they also shit and piss on your skin witch further irritates the bite.
Alien: That's terribles! Humans had to deal with this for hundreds of generations?!
Humans: yea but over the years we found ways to cure most of the viruses they carry but the parasites are still a problem so we found a more permanent solution
Alien: oh that's inspiring, you humans usualy ignore this kind of problem after you resolve the bigger issue, what did you do? Perhaps did you ingeneer the human race to be less desirable to those creatures? Or, or you made a special repellent with a 100% rate of success? Or a special vaccine that creates a special film around your body to protect you from the bit-
Human: we exterminated them
Alien: i should have expected that
Human: at least we tried, but then we realized that would impact the ecosistem greatly so we are just back to spraying them to death whenever we get bitten
Alien: That's... That's weirdly considerated for your species standard... im gonna hope you did the same with the parasites
Human: oh no those one are basicaly extinct
Alien: normaly i would be bafled about how you made an entire species go extinct but from what i understoad those species where hazard to human health so i understand the decision this time
Human: nah i can assure you we did this only becouse they where annoying and painfull to deal with, health hazards or not.
Alien: ok so you decided to punish an entire species with total extinction just becouse they where annoying your population?!
Human: don't be silly we just eradicated the 3 main species that attack humans, also we constantly deal with creatures that we put under treat of extinction, that's kinda what we do with things we consider "ugly" or "annoying" like most bugs or small animals
Alien: *becomes the alien version of pale from fear* thank you for your time... *goes away to warn the galaxy of the human habit of extermination creatures*
