I'd get out of bed to kill a (female*) mosquito.

Does that make me a psychopath?

I'm sure at least some of those people think snakes and tarantulas are Bad Things, and need to be killed before they hurt people.


* Not sexist, just aware that male mozzies don't bite, and if you leave them alone after sneaking up on them, there's less selection pressure on the species to develop good newspaper-avoiding skills.
