      It isn’t that I hate the pests, it’s that I don’t want them to stop us humans from having enough food. The little worms that I work on that eat plant roots don’t just eat the roots of crops, they eat a wide range of plants roots so if I stop them eating the specific crop they will still be able to eat other plants roots. Which is more then they can do at the moment as lots of nasty chemicals are sprayed to stop them eating the roots of crops that completely wipe them out.
