I don't think they'll go up. There will always be people breeding their pastel male to normal female.
I'm not sure why there is so much offense being taken to the word useless. He is talking about the dollar value of the animal over the cost of keeping it alive. He is not talking about how you should just pick them up, throw them at the garbage can or let your cat play with it. Nobody is downplaying the value of life. We're on a website dedicated to these animals - we all signed up here because we agree they're all cool, including normal males. It's pretty obviously a discussion about return on investment. Chill out.
