"Join us in our fight to stamp out the senseless slaughter of billions of helpless insects across the world. Our grassroots campaign is rapidly growing but we still need your help to spread the word that bugs are living, feeling creatures too. Imagine the horror of these small beings as they are choking their last breath, clutching their young to their breasts as uncaring humans thoughtlessly spray toxic chemicals."
Insect Fetish: One of the worst practices ever imaginable. Insect sexual fetish involving men watching women crush insects under their feet. This has GOT to stop!

Flea Circuses: We at the IRA believe that insects were not put on this earth to entertain us. Cruel treatment of these poor beings are being documented everyday. Glued to small wagons, bicycles, or other paraphenalia, they are made to pull these contraptions around with their agonized attempts to flea...errr flee. Want to see an example? Check out the ACME flea circus page and help to free Midge and Madge the performing fleas.

Just the hemiptera? What about the rest of the insects then?
clutching their young to their breasts
Well admittedly it sounds better than "clutching their young to their thoraces", but it's inaccurate. Parental care is pretty rare in insects anyhow.
Actually, I don't even swat flies, wasps, etc. If they don't actually feed on me I just evict them rather than eviscerate them. After all, they outnumber us a billion-to-one, it makes sense to stay on their good side.

True, Snowy, but you should remember that they never read anyone else's posts!

Rats, I thought we had a celebrity poster!
I had a lovely mental image of a white fox terrier stood on a wheelie-chair slowly typing out a message then nudging the mouse to the right position with his nose.
Well, David, if you can find me an avatar of Snowy (the Terrier), then I will certainly use it. Currently, I am useing one of his somewhat larger cousins.
I once knew a woman who'd done her masters work on some variety of fruit fly behaviour. She told me that when she went to the school's lab building there were often animal right's protestors. As she approached the building, they would approach her. When she told them she worked with fruit flies they would let her pass without harassing her.
I've always thought that was hypocritical. If I were to support animal rights (lol) then fruit flies would be included. They aren't minerals or plants!
