Mammals Are Beautiful
Each and every mammal which exists or has ever existed upon the world that is called Earth, is and always has been, beautiful. There may be those however, who have a different perception of what beautiful is. Yet no creature alive, or even extinct is not beautiful. They were meant to appear they way they do and while not everyone may appreciate their looks, they're attractive at least to their own species. It doesn't matter to them what a member of their own species looks like, its all a matter of camouflage and how well they can survive in the wild.
There are however mammals which may appear, to the human eye at least, to be far more beautiful than any other mammals alive or extinct. Unfortunately, for some of the most beautiful mammals of the world, poachers enjoy hunting, even when its against every law. This is, because they can make money with the pelts, blood money that is. Due to poachers and people wanting those pelts to turn into fashion statements many creatures have been lost and some brought to the verge of extinction. Sometimes, beauty really is a curse, for people covet it far too much to be healthy.
There are people who may enjoy staring at the pelt of a beautiful mammal, but only if its on a living, breathing creature. They go to the zoos to see them, or on Safari's. Safari's in the true habitat may be more dangerous, but they're far more wild and realistic. Keeping wild animals in their natural habitat is the most beautiful thing of all, especially for the animals who live there. Plus in the wild there are far more mammals than one shall ever see at a zoo, with a variety of pelts as well as feathers and foliage. All the beautiful mammals deserve to keep their home, their natural habitat, beautiful too.
