I really think over time we are going to loose many species of mammals / reps whatever is done or isn't. So much of their natural habitats have been and increasingly are taken over whether it be for farming, illegal drug station poisoning etc.

Using some mentioned above for food - I really dont see how they would breed sufficiently to produce this and also help there 'endangered' status.
Tigers / rhinos etc are no comparison to hatching out chickens! Do you know how long elephants are pregnant for? Just think how many chickens are born, bred, hatched in this time.

I'm certainly not against animals used as food consumption don't get me wrong. I have 'pet' chickens and also chickens for the table, eat the rabbits the dogs catch and we have a pig every year that ends up filling ours and our families freezer.
