I do, and so do a lot of other voters. That's one thing that turns a number of elections in purple states. A lot of people are fairly conservative in their beliefs. but they also care about the environment. It drives voters to vote democrat when some conservatives basically say "Who cares about the eagles? Kill 'em all if it means we can increase the breeding population of third world people that are already stretching the resources of their countries so thin they're barely surviving."
Not only that, but DDT was very useful here in our own country, long before lefty environmentalists took control of the EPA (which, IMO, should be controlled by each state, solving your purple voter problem; you could not use it, protect your birds and deal with the mosquitoes, we could use it and stay mosquito free, but I digress), and decided to protect animals over humans.
Personally, being part of the oh-so-annoying "breeding population", I would prefer that my children be protected from mosquito borne disease rather than defer to the health of specific wild animals. Call me crazy. Same reason I don't give a crap about the caribou in Alaska, and prefer drilling there.
I love animals, and in fact have been a rescuer for years. I do, however, realize that humans come first.
