Insects have feelings too

I think this is quite cruel if they did it to a dog or monkey there would be an outcry ! Researchers Have Turned A Live Dragonfly Into A Cyborg 'Drone'

What a despicable thing to do to a beautiful creature. When will the human race realise they do not have the right to play god!

This is not a 'micro-aerial vehicle' but a life-form which is forced to act at your will. It is quite appalling.

I agree with the man above. It's cruel.

Re: Insects have feelings too

All animals only have the one life whether it's thirty years or 24 hours. I don't agree with this sort of thing and I also don't agree with the latest obsession with attaching cameras or tracking devices on the backs of anything that moves.
