News: "Are these animals too 'ugly' to be saved?"

Animals which are worldwide known as endangered ones tend to be conventionally aesthetically pleasing or cute, but there are ones that are more threatened than then. Although they're not as beautiful as the others in the orthodox sense, they have physical characteristics that make them unique.
A project run by the Zoological Society for London is trying to fight for these "less appreciated" animals.


A very good intention apparently without lucrative purposes. It's true that humans don't really have the obligation of taking care of environment and animals (there aren't any "divine obligations"), but this kind of (supposed) disinterested help for the needy ones is definitely a light in this society that mostly focus on individual issues. It's true that this issue doesn't affect me directly, but it's true that I've never focused on wanting to help "beautiful" animals, and I wanted to help all endangered ones in the same manner (sounds kinda hypocrite, but I've wanted to help on this for a long time). Since I don't have any resource to help them at the moment, I'll have to wait.
Why is it every time the same? The not-conventionally things tend to be always isolated only because they're not "socially good", and that's all. They don't have a life like pandas or tigers, they're like a monsters, don't they? Jeez.
