Pandas - I could go into a long diatribe about why these most useless of animals deserve extinction but I won't, suffice to say they're the most pointless, overrated animals ever.

Of course, Kung-Fu Panda's going to come out and raise their undeserved popularity once more, much to my annoyance.

I'll probably go watch it as well.

The mosquito is too important to the food chain, unfortunately. So I'd say the flea instead. That should take out Yersinia pestis as well :mp5:

Anyways, I'll add my vote to the mosquito. There are lots of bacterial diseases too, but they tend not to be caused just by a simple species but by a whole lot of them, so eliminating any single one wouldn't do much.

Pandas are killing themselves off, so I would just let that segment of nature take it's proper course. Don't want to have sex? Not my problem.

I am tempted to say Furries, but I think their 'species' will eventually die off from getting their 'gear' stuck in their fur suit zipper too many times.

I could tolerate a world without mosquitoes, but I am giving them a reprieve due to their role in bringing back dinosaurs in Jurassic Park.

Eradicating HIV or Ebola would be a mere temporary comfort in the long run, as there is always some other disease waiting in the wings.

I think eradicating Kudzu would be the ideal course of action.

Bajorans because they deserve it. Long live Cardassia and long live the transparently über-fascist but pathetically weak Cardassian empire. Seriously, how were those spoon-heads ever really a threat? When they were introduced it only took a few hits to knock a warship out of commision. And before you say that it was years after the war then why didn't they improve their ships? Looked pretty easy to kill a few Cardies so I can't imagine it would have been a very long war.

From a global perspective I'd say destroy the HIV virus.

Mosquitoes seem to be a popular choice. Some birds, fish, frogs, dragonflies and others eat mosquitoes or their larva but perhaps the non-bloodsucking species could still feed those if the bloodsucking species went extinct.

Personally I find horseflies to be even more annoying bloodsuckers than mosquitoes. Ticks are the worst though, they don't just bite you they hang on for days and they are the only bloodsuckers that spread diseases (TBE and borrelia) where I live so from a personal perspective I'd exterminate the ticks.

If you have to be picky I'll look it up, Wikipedia says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiv) there are 2 species of HIV, namely HIV-1 and HIV-2. But for example mosquitoes is a whole family so I'm not the only one picking a group of species.

edit: Removed incorrect usage of the word "genus".

I find people's attitude to leeches odd. I've done lots of bushwalking in leech-invested forests in Victoria and Tasmania and find them far less irritating than mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes buzz. I've had many sleepless nights thanks to them.

Mosquito bites itch. Sometimes for days.

Mosquitoes spread disease. More than any other animal except, possibly, humans.

Leech's are silent, their bites don't itch and they don't spread disease. The just look icky and get into embarrassing places.
