So, if your house becomes infested with roaches, fleas, or lice, you
respect their rights.

If starving mosquitoes need you to keep them alive, you oblige them.

If squirrels nest in your dormers and begin chewing away at the wooden
structure of your home, you don't deprive them of a warm place to stay
during the winter months.

You really are a wonderful person!!!!!
