The Silent Killer It’s small, quick and hungry. It weights less than an ounce, and is about ⅛ inch to ¾ inch long (Mosquito, 2015). There are over 3,500 different species around the world (Mosquito Facts-33, 2014). This creature travels throughout the globe sucking blood from thousands of innocent people and leaving behind welts and taking lives. What is the most dangerous animal in the world? The mosquito. The mosquito can live in many types of environments, reproduce quickly, and can bite you unexpectedly.

According to reports from the Caribbean, (Jamaica specifically), prevention has been aimed toward educating people on how to avoid catching this disease. The health ministries of these islands affected have also taken preventative actions other than education in fogging suspected mosquito breeding grounds as to lower the amount of mosquitos around.

In this report I will lay out the options that could be taken on the issue of the animals at the research facility that may have West Nile Virus. There are two positions that could be taken on this subject, the first position is encouraging the Army to take control of the research facility to euthanize the animals before the virus reaches the human population. The second position you could take is that the animals should not be euthanized. The position you should take on this subject is the…
