A French animal activist urges us to let mosquitoes bite you because they need our "blood donation".
Aymeric Caron, a television presenter, said the insects suck human blood to obtain protein for their eggs, which was “embarrassing for anti-specists who realize they are being attacked by a mother trying to nourish her future children”.
The activist later said his comments might have been dramatic, but still encourages people to not kill mosquitoes.
