Another species nears extinction. Does no one care?

What I want to know is, will PETA campaign to save them as part of their FUR campaign?

A dramatic decline in cases of pubic lice has been linked to growing enthusiasm for the Brazilian bikini wax, and trimmed shrubbery in general.
Phthirus pubis is estimated to infest between 2 and 10 per cent of people worldwide, according to this report, but the species could be heading for "disaster" if humans persist in mowing their nether regions.
A 2011 study by Kenyon College in Ohio revealed that "more than 80 per cent of college students in the US remove all or some of their pubic hair, as well as a majority of university-aged men and women in Australia".*
Indeed, the Down Under trend for keeping curlies short down under means docs at the Sydney Sexual Health Centre haven't seen a woman with crabs since 2008, while the number of blokes scratching their way to the clinic is down 80 per cent from around 100 cases 10 years ago.

Gives a whole new meaning to those models saying "I'd rather go naked than wear fur...".
