My pond snails never did but they never lasted long enough with my fish and I had very few plants. I would guess you have some lighting and/or nutrient deficiencies.

Extinct? Since when?
they will only eat dead or decaying plant matter. even when starved they wouldnt go for live and healthy plants. i would go with what jpappy789 said and look into your lighting and/or nutrient deficiencies.
Pond snails will only eat dead and decaying plant matter. If holes are being punched into leaves, the leaves are dying.
I agree with the previous posters, the only time I see damage to any of my plants is when they are on their way out. Healthy plants are typically not eaten.
ok thanks everyone! I've been trying to get a better light for a while now... looks like that could have been part of it!
