    There are people volunteering to “house” pubic lice to keep them from going extinct.

        Same. An uncomfortable and embarrassing parasite that preys only on humans isn’t exactly like wolves or the European Honey Bee.

        Every species on earth except the lice themselves will be either better off or completely unaffected if they go extinct.
