Society doesn't care about cute or endangered animals. The rangers represent a minority.

    That's bullshit.
    I'd agree that not enough people care, but significantly more people care about cute endangered animals than they do marginalised and oppressed human beings.

    It doesn't take a study to see the difference in attitudes and engagement (though studies have been done, feel free to invest your own time looking them up).

    The fact that you've responded to me to focus on the animals but not on the people my comment is actually about is a perfect illustration of my point.

    That's all a narrative you created in your head. Besides, many of the same solutions that would protect endangered species would also protect marginalized people. You're trying to make this into a Trolley Dilemmas for some reason. Who do you think are the ones buying dick powder made form Rhino horns?
