Sorry for the analogy its the best I could come up with, but you get my point.
Furthermore when laws are made that prevent captive breeding, then it's like there is no escape "plan B" either.
I get your point, but the inability to eliminate one threat, doesn't diminish the importance of countering others. Quite the opposite.
