“Animal lovers should allow the insects to bite, except in Africa, where they would risk catching malaria” , Mr Caron, who counts himself as an “anti-specist”said that, according to the Independent.
He also said that letting mosquitoes bite should be considered a “blood donation”, and although the ideal is to avoid killing them, they could be killed where necessary.
Toni Vernelli, the UK head of animal-welfare group Animal Equality, said she would draw the line at “parasites that carry malaria and kill millions of people a year”.
“For most people, this is a step too far and a distraction. It’s unhelpful in trying to educate people about the suffering of animals in factory farms, and is unrelated to animal welfare campaigns,” she said.
