A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down, and orders a sandwich. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun, and shoots the waiter dead. As the panda stands up to go, the manager shouts, "Hey! Where are you going? You just shot my waiter, and you didn't even pay for your sandwich!""Hey, man, I'm a PANDA!" the panda shouts back. "Look it up!"The manager opens his dictionary and reads: "Panda: a tree-dwelling mammal of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves."

Don't know what "deserves" means in this context. If there's a species that doesn't "deserve" to be preserved, it's homo sapiens, but even for us humans I'm not sure what "deserves" means.
Once upon a time, after having to deal with mold in the house, I said to a friend that I didn't understand why, having done its evolutionary shtick, mold didn't just disappear entirely. Seemed to me that it didn't deserve to continue in existence. And my friend then wondered aloud what we'd do without blue cheeses. Well that changed my mind in a hurry!

I have no problem with them, but they try very hard to go extinct. Very selective in habitat. Eat basically one food. Do not socialize. Only raise one cub. Only mate every two years.
That's my reason for what I said. Folks go to large measures to keep the species alive but seem to be fighting natural characteristics of the species in doing it.
