if you were a nat geographic photographer, would you leave animals in trouble to die?
i was watching the discovery channel a few days ago and noticed a few cases where the people taking the documentaries seem to leave the animals stricken to die.
in one case there were 2 caribou who had fought and their horns had gotten tangled. one died and as the other was trying to free themselves in vain, the voice in the background said that unfortunately, it had died because they had to play the role of passive observers and couldn’t interfere by freeing the animal.
in another case there was a tortoise that had somehow got stuck on its back, then there was another shot, presumably of the same tortoise later, of a just a skelton laying on its shell
kind of mixed on this, i would have a hard time leaving an animal to die like that
