"Who wants to save an ugly animal?"

I'm sure that sammka does - the pic's of an aye-aye. *grin*

ETA: Ack, we're selectively breeding endangered species for cuteness!

ooh! there's a link to a group interested in preserving mammalian species based on geek-appeal!

seriously, they have a long beaked echidna for a mascot, and their top ten list includes the sumatran rhino (which is not only an adorably petit rhino, but is also the only surviving wooly rhino). as soon as i make sure these people are vaguely respectable and efficient, i need to send them some money.

now if only i can get the to expand taxonomically a bit, and maybe stand up for the coelacanths...

Eee! Stands for Echidna!

This conversation reminds me of how the [Unknown site tag] are radically against breeding - some see their mission in life to eliminate birds from the pet market. For my part, I'd rather see these species domesticated than eliminated. And now I have an image of a giant emu plodding along chanting robotically "DOMESTICATE!"
