I'm not following.
White lions are no different to normal lions. They're not a different species, it's a recessive gene like any other recessive gene, blue eyes or not blue eyes, red hair or not red hair, dimples or no dimples. I don't get why it's seen as "so rare they need to be conserved and bred". It's a recessive gene; of course there aren't going to be as many white lions as there are normal dominant gene coloured lions, that's how it's supposed to be. And if places are breeding specifically for recessive genes, what does that say about their ethics.
