True,but even if the offspring that holds both albino allels doesn't survive...that still leaves both het parents,and some of the possible het offspring surviving.When they reproduce there will be another group of possible hets(or even another albino,that gets eaten of course).
It's a good thing for us that the albino and piebald genes aren't co-dom...or maybe there have been lines,but they are now extinct?(So does that mean we are saving the calico/bubblegum lines? lol)
Het-ivorys are visable enough to us,but not so vivid that would insure its demise in the wild.
btw...i'm not argueing...just conversing.
