I can only shake my head in disbelief, that someone would risk months of
having a vacant property to "save" the ants (as if they are not prolific
when it comes to procreating,)losing $ in the process, and not even
consider the many children dying of hunger and CURABLE diseases at a
global level; which two or three months of rent can be devoted to said
cause.


This, to me, is the epitome of idiocy and hypocrisy.
