(in the animal kingdom, unlike men's, even the smallest and weakest has a right of vote - and veto). " ffffriendsss " , said the mosquito, " what about meeee? your hide is to toughhhh; human skin is the only one i can penetrate... if there will be no men, i am destined to die of hunger. and what about my kiiiiidssss? plllleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssssseeeeeee, do not carry it outtttt! do not destroy mankind!
