If roachs were cute, like lady bugs would we try to save them as an endangered species?

Question

why do those enviromental types only care about cute fuzzy animals? why not save the horseshoe crab?

Answer 1

Well, possibly. If they behaved like roaches, they would still be damned annoying. My sister had a lady bug infestation once, it was awful.

Answer 2

i dont kill roaches

i set them free

Answer 3

Roaches can live without their heads attached to their bodies for up to a week.  I don't see why anyone would want or need to save them.  They've been here before we got here, and they'll be here after we leave.  If you want to "save" them - go have at it.  I think they're gross.

Answer 4

whether a species is endangered should definitely not be determined by whether it's cute of not. However, i am quite sure roaches are no way near extinction. X)

But one thing about insects is that they are too small, difficult to track and identify. Some unknown species are extinct already before we even heard of it.

I guess most endangered species are "cute fuzzy" or really attractive types like lions and leopards because they are noticeable and many people know them, thus more willing to help to save them.

But in my opinion, all endangered animals should be protected, for the sake of the diversity of species and balance of nature.

Answer 5

Roaches are not endangered, neither are lady bugs. If horseshoe crabs are indeed endangered (which would make sense due to pollution and habitat depletion) then I'm sure that there are environmentalists and naturalists working on the problem.

When you say the words "those environmental types", you sound like a goon. Just thought you should know.  :-\

Answer 6

lyzywolf,it's not about being cute or agly.Every creacher on earth has a right to live,We only kill them because it's egg hetches a thousand roaches and run around every where in the house and disterb us.

Answer 7

They will never be an endangered species.

Answer 8

Look, if ladybugs invaded my house when the lights went out and tried to get into my food, I would want them dead too.  Roach's are disgusting and carry diseases.  Being ugly doesn't help either.

Answer 9

First of all, I don't think there is anything we could do to make cockroaches an endangered species. If all the worlds Nukes were to explode, and virtually all life ended, cockroaches would be one of the few survivors.

I dont care much for ladybugs either, but if they stay outta my way, and my home, then there no need to worry about being squished.

Answer 10

besides thier ugliness they used to disturb us by thier activities,so generally for this reason only man doesn't want to save them.

Answer 11

Roaches are far from being endangered species, but if they do become endangered, I think we should try to save them.  Every species is important; remove one from the face of the earth, and you risk upsetting our planet's ecological balance.

Answer 12

Roaches are far from being endangered.

They are probably one of the best equipped critters on Earth when it comes to survival.

They will eat anything, even you if given the chance. You don't even have to be dead for them to try to eat you.

Just sleep on the floor for a few nights in an area infested with roaches and you will find out personally that what I say is true.

Answer 13

because the cute fuzzy animals are near extinction because humans find them so cute they would kill them to place them as throphies at home? if they are not near extinction, human couldn't care less about them. But still, if human treat animals badly, the animal right activist would step in.

Answer 14

They are not all without heart fr the less aesthetically pleasing species...it's illegal to kill ugly humans, isn't it?

Answer 15

they are the least endangered species on this planet ,and will probably be the last things left alive after global disasters of any description.

Answer 16

I don't know what you're talking about...

My pet cockroach is extremely cute...

(See what you've down, now...?!?)

You've hurt his feelings...
