Flip over the turtle. Save the god damned penguin! Your actions aren’t going to upset some natural balance of nature in any meaningful way – except for the creature you save. You’re not going to cause a mass extinction by saving the octopus from the sharks! Interfere, you dick! I hate these documentary makers who use this excuse; they only don’t intervene because it makes for better film. It’s a cop out.
If you’re a biologist studying lifecycles or some shit, fine. Be hard hearted for science. But pretending that you’re saving the pure state of nature and then hopping in your Chinook helicopter to jet off to base camp is ludicrous.
Ok, so, this is one of my many pet peeves.
