Keith defended himself. “Chalupa is a member of an endangered species and was abandoned. She would have died. So my taking her does nothing negative to the chupacabra population.”
“Are you going to return her to the wild when she is an adult?” Chel frowned. She had definite opinions on that. Returning an animal that had lived with humans to the wild was either a death sentence to the animal or a danger to any human who might encounter it.
“No.” Keith replied flatly.

Forgive me if I sound harsh, but species go extinct all the time, because they can’t adapt. It isn’t their fault, but it’s also a part of the cycle of life. Just like the giant pandas. Unless they have some radical changes, they are an evolutionary dead end, and time prunes those away like dead offshoots on a rose bush.
Sometimes, endangered species are going extinct because they are no longer needed. It is a harsh statement, but it is true.

Yea, but governments spend HOW MUCH to keep giant pandas around? (Seriously, most useless animal ever, they’re carnivores that eat one of the least sustenance giving plants possible. Heck, they’re too lazy to BREED by themselves!)

But they are soooooooo kyooooooot!
Seriously, I agree that they are an evolutionary dead end and that we ought to let nature take its course. We need to keep genetic samples for future use, though. Also, raising them in captivity just because we like them is a good idea.
