I as a fishkeeper know that there are several species of fish that are endangered or threatened and I am quite sick of hearing about how this cute bear or that pretty bird seem to get most of the attention and similarly most of the money. Any organization that uses cute animals to preach about how species are becoming extinct will find themselves with a small fortune in a small amount of time. Other creatures such as endangered fish lizards and various inverts often find themselves completely forgotten or just overlooked.
It seems to me that any creature that does not look good or give people a fuzzy feeling about helping are just doomed to die off while those who care about them can only watch in vain as the populace goes about their lives oblivious to the fact that another wonderful unique species is dead.
