Yeah, but knowledge is a very dangerous thing. Seerow gave the Yeerks knowledge of a possibility of space travel and the infestation of other Species. just like how our technology ends up us wanting for more advanced technology.

If not for Seerow, Yeerks would have been satisfied with just Gedds.

I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense. But I have also, again and again, challenged readers to think about what they were reading. To th

I dont see how the yeeks did anything wrong. Theyre just doing what they feel is right. I eat meat, so animals have to die, losing life and freedom. I just dont see a difference.

okay I haven't read all of this thread, so here is my pure two cents

YES. They is bad.
They may have evolved as parasites, but they didn't have to take a host. Having a host no way effected there live spans or reproductive capabilities, with is the evolutionary justification of parasites. They were doing fine before and without an array (honestly any) host fo years, so to decide okay, now we want host, and we're gonna take em; that warrants a time out.
It sucks that they are deprived so many things, but that's how they evolved, and it suited the passing of genes for sustainable live ; and that's the only requirement of evolution

 ::) No. Enslaving sentient races and betraying the very people who tried to help you see the stars is perfectly fine.

No. That's the thing. The Yeerks weren't satisfied with just Gedds and became greedy and killed innocent Andalite warriors in their newfound quest to enslave people.

How can you compare killing and eating an organism that's simply following a food chain to a parasite that controls your body till taht day you die?

You people do know that you're backing a race of creatures out to make you a prisoner of your own minds. Right? I can't believe that in the final book, Jake was on trial at all for killing Yeerks and Visser Three of all people was being defended by humans.

This great evil - where's it come from?
How'd it steal into the world?
What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we mighta known?
Does our ruin benefit the earth, aid the grass to grow and the sun to shine?  Is this darkness in you, too?  Have you passed through this night?

capitalist is an economic system of money, like America uses, you set up a business, make as much as you can, and anyone who can't keep up it's there fault.
What kind of American are you venom? >:( :P

Anyway, earth parasites would be like tapeworms which live in animals intestines and eat some of their food, and typically do little to harm or inhibit their (intended) host. Where as Yeerks well, enslave you and take away your freedom.

who's to say tapeworms won't cause harm to other species. for all we know tapeworms could eat an andalite from inside out.

no, tapeworms are real earth parasites. Lots of times cats and dogs have they, they don't harm them, but it's gross for people to see when you clean out a litter box (so I'm told, my cats are clean :D)
