If I’m out walking around and I see a small beetle flipped over on its back, should I give him a nudge or let it be? I feel bad for the little dudes. But they got themselves into this situation so maybe they deserve to be a quick bird snack? But if I were stuck I would hope for some help and not being eaten. Plus the more stupid ones I save will keep the stupid genes going and the longer before we have to compete with sentient beetles. But then again, like, nature. I’m torn. Dziękuję
I like helping animals in need. When did we agree that only the most intelligent/fit animals deserve to live?
I don’t intervene however if it is predator vs prey. Helping one would mean harming the other.
Edit: thought about the predator vs prey thing some more. I guess I do tend to help if one seems much more sentient then the other.
The prey will often be mortally wounded before one can do anything anyway. Chasing off a predator often just results in both parties losing. The prey just dies in vain…
