They'd intervene to help humans, I hope, and humans are just another species of animal. The idea of us lording it over the animal kingdom is well past its sell-by date.

I think that as animals are culled at times, helping other animals, helps balance this out plus we do so much damage to their habitats. I would have no hesitation in helping these animals. I don't believe it would upset the balance of nature to do this on occasions.Carol Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02800245681845689902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-37197957616879481842018-11-27T04:45:54.018-08:002018-11-27T04:45:54.018-08:00My head says if peril is natural to let it play ou...My head says if peril is natural to let it play out and if man made to help.

We have young a**holes who shoot the Javelinas and them drag them through the streets. <br />The Illegals and drug runners are destroying the land that the Desert Tortoise live in by their trails and guns. They have also started fires to elude just what we need. <br />Then there is climate change. The Sierra Club and even Green Peace will not help us because of the ultra liberal California mindset.<br /><br />So I would have helped the Penguins and the Cubs. The villagers are taking the Lions land. Then there was the case of the stupid villagers setting Fire to a Mum and Baby elephant to keep them away. How could they do that. I would have turned the fire on them.Barbaric Savages !

When my daughter worked on the Turtle Conservation projects in Greece for a few years she came up against this as the people leading the camps had differing views. One year she was able to help a turtle dig its nest to lay eggs. The turtle only had one flipper and so my daughter knelt behind her and became her other flipper helping to dig the nest. Maybe she was wrong but it was a delight to see the off spring making for the sea afterwards - but again helping the little newly born turtles get to the sea is frowned on by some conservationists.<br />We intervene to help to prevent the species dying out - maybe this is wrong - who knows.wherethejourneytakesmehttps://wherethejourneytakesme2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-83201744056296101452018-11-26T14:21:30.025-08:002018-11-26T14:21:30.025-08:00I could not watch them die if I could prevent it. ...I could not watch them die if I could prevent it.

Whales ...Most people will help animals in distress. Whales stranded on beaches is a prime example. Once in India there was a tiger had already killed several villagers, about 5 or 6 I think it was. The villagers lived in ramshackle huts and were fearful at night and naturally they approached some RAF servicemen in the area and pleaded for somebody to deal with it. My father and two others went up there at night into the hills and one night the tiger came into the village. So they killed it. So the answer is not easy. It is sometimes yes and sometimes no. Depends on the situation.

I think it appropriate that humans intervened to mitigate the damage. The penguins, however, appear to have gotten into their fix by themselves. In that case, it might have been more "natural" to let nature have its way. That's logic. Emotionally, I'd probably have been right there digging the ramp.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746125335054364007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-64300181285387956752018-11-26T11:45:23.086-08:002018-11-26T11:45:23.086-08:00I rarely watch films about wildlife outside of thi...I rarely watch films about wildlife outside of this country but from what I have seen in the newspapers about those incidents there is no way that I wouldn't of got involved with helping them.
