I see tons and tons of humans calling mosquitoes dangerous as they can carry diseases. Although not specific to mosquitoes, they're really commonly viewed as bothersome and dangerous to human health.
Some think that justifies killing those beings.
Here's the thing: You know the most deadly species on the planet?
Let me give you the answer: Humans.
You do know humans can kill you through transmitting disease (And of course not only.), too?
I don't see those same people claiming mosquitoes are dangerous and killing them doing the same to humans.
Maybe because the humans are not easy victims usually? Maybe because, OH NO, you're likely to be put in jail or even killed yourself (How dare anyone else take your life from you, right?) for doing that?
Next time you consider killing another being for similar reasons, think about how you can stop them without killing them. If we're talking about a human trying to kill you, it might actually be justified. You know…as you might not have enough time to react in any better ways.
Oh and you know, it's not like mosquitoes or any non-human animals are drinking your blood or something similar because they need to or anything! (That last sentence is sarcasm.)

OK, so lately I've come to realize that even ingredients like glycerin can come from palm oil and/or coconuts. With surfactants on almost any cleaning product being derived from palm oil and/or coconuts (List of possible coconut derivatives: https://bloomingskin.com/christys-blog/f/coconut-oil-and-coconut-derived-ingredients#:~:text=1%2C2,Stearate,-You / List of possible palm oil derivatives: https://obvs-skincare.com/blogs/organic-skincare/palm-oil-undercover-a-guide-to-hidden-ingredients#:~:text=Acetic,stearate,-Obvs ) and the associated issues with them (Coconuts: https://investigations.peta.org/monkeys-abused-coconut-milk/ , https://foodispower.org/our-food-choices/steeped-in-injustice-a-look-at-tea-2/#:~:text=Child,production%2E%5B30%5D%29 / Palm oil: https://www.wwf.org.uk/updates/8-things-know-about-palm-oil#:~:text=4,way ), I've started looking for alternatives to cleaning products and goodness, it's been very difficult, but I found a solution I think!
Olive oil soap! Yes, that is right. It's a soap…made from…wait for it…
…olive oil! (OK and some water and maybe some other stuff added, too.)
Commonly known as castile soap, it is actually totally fine for use as body, hair and even as a laundry detergent to wash by hand or in a washing machine with some slight modification ( https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-make-your-own-laundry-detergent-1387952 )!!! So then you have a minimalist cleaning product that does the job just like the others but with severely less impact on the environment (Basically always.) and could even do a BETTER job in some cases…I should've been supporting this since the beginning, it seems…Do note that some still contain coconut or palm oil derivatives, so check the ingredients still (Of course!). Most times they seem to be vegan (As in no parts of non-human animals or something they produce is used and no testing for the olive oil soaps is taking place.), but again, you should check yourself.
And if someone is doubting the efficacy of olive oil soap for cleaning, here are some sources: https://damascussoap.ca/blogs/skin-hair/olive-soap-skin

With people boycotting palm oil so much, it seems like the best solution (Even if boycotting palm oil weren't the case and it were totally fine, the staggering difference in ingredients makes this the better choice for environmental reasons.). #Vegan #Veganism #Palm #Oil #PalmOil #Soap #Soaps #Clean #Cleaning #Cleanliness #Coconut #Coconuts #CoconutOil #Ethics #Ethical #Buy #Purchase #Boycott #Laundry #Detergent #LaundryDetergent #DeepDive #Olive #OliveOil #Castile #Bar #SoapBar #BarOfSoap #Bars #SoapBars #BarsOfSoap #Ingredient #Ingredients #Surfactant #Surfactants #PigtailedMacaque #PigtailedMacaques #Pigtailed #Macaque #Macaques #Child #Labour #ChildLabour #Work #Job #RightsViolation #RightsViolations #Abuse #Violence:vegan:
