I would do it even if it granted every single one human level sentience. I would do it if it meant I had to follow them there in the afterlife purely to rid the world of them. I would do it if I had to take an angle grinder to my erect cock and balls on national television. I literally could not give less of a fuck about what ticks do, feel, or support in the greater ecosystem on this planet. Exterminate them all. Exterminate them at the cost of all life on earth for all I care. Fuck em.
