In 2018, while filming Dynasties in Antarctica, a BBC crew found emperor penguins trapped in an ice ravine. Though rules forbid interference, they carved a small ramp to help the birds escape . many people weren’t happy with their act.

      That’s wild nature documentaries always catch those once in a lifetime moments, and Antarctica has a way of turning survival into pure cinematic drama.

      *Citation needed*

      Which people were unhappy with their act?

    3. I wouldn’t be able to be a wildlife photographer for this kind of reason, I would really struggle to watch animals get killed for no reason if I had the ability to intervene

    4. I think the only interference that shouldn’t happen is through assisting or hindering an animal to hunt. Trying to “rescue” prey animals that have been caught, or scaring off a predator that‘s trying to kill it’s catch. But this is just an unfortunate situation that happened to these penguins, where nature wouldn’t bat an eye. But the “interference” here isn’t disrupting anything, and just helped out against some natural bad luck

      “Many people” meaning their producers. Who the fuck would get mad at that? The penguins didn’t interact with the crew, the crew didn’t feed them, they didn’t use the crew for warmth. No matter what you do you’ll have some asshole pissed off at you but more people wouldve been mad if they let the penguins die.

    6. What if they were trapped in the ravine in the first place due to manmade climate change effect on the environment?

    7. Conservationist assholes can fuck off. We have fucked with enough nature as it is. If a few humans can save thirty penguins by doing this. I see no wrong.

      There is a philosophical term for this: GET FUCKED

    9. I assume those unhappy people would also refuse modern medical treatment as it’s against nature

      Who gives a fuck what many people think… we’re all on this earth together as animals, even though we have developed the intelligence… we have the capacity to help those penguins Get out of a situation

      absolutely we can intervene in this case… people just need to shut the fuck up …good job guys, you’re moral Center did the right thing.

      P.S. we’re not interfering with nature… We are nature! (intelligence and all)

      so us helping them is the natural thing to do if that’s what we feel we should be doing.

      We do plenty of damage to the environment, maybe helping out now and then isn’t such a bad thing

      If they were stupid enought to do that then they will just breed more ofspring stupid enough to do the same thing and die. There is no poinr interfering with natural selection, as soon as you remove the artificial selection it will go on as usual.

    13. it makes me sad that things like this probably happen in nature constantly and aren’t ever noticed by people who can help.
