If we should save the wolves and the bears, why dont we save the Smallpox and the malaria?

Question

Smallpox, malaria, yellow feaver, typhus, anthrax, cholera, bubonic plague......These are all part of nature too. if you think we should save wolves and bears and stuff, why dont I see any campaigns to save these organisms? Talk about hypocritical.

Answer 1

excuse me.. who would save organisms like those which could kill or cause people harm. In Biology, if you took it up, there are pathogenic and unpathogenic organisms. Some are beneficiary to humans and some organisms are not.

Answer 2

Why would you wanna save something that can kill hundreds of thousands of ppl in days animals dont do that

Answer 3

Tell me.  Can you actually ask this question without lol?

Answer 4

That has to be the the dumbest thing yet.  The last time I can down with a fever, it sure as h**l wasn't caused by a bear or wolf....

Answer 5

We do. We save them in little bottles.

Answer 6

there still might be "samples" of those in labs I am  not quite sure but I think there are and anyways I don't know the point of saving something that can kill hundreds of people. Of course i think they shouldnt get rid of them for good but still keep samples to study. Anyways bears and wolves don't kill many people. We should help save every type of living creature no matter how dangerous and "bad" it is to help preserve nature.

Answer 7

Interestingly enough, several years ago, the CDC was going to destroy the only remaining sample of the small pox virus, but PETA took out an injunction, saying it was the last of the species.
