I believe a valid argument could be made on both sides of the debate, and I would understand and agree with them all. It is a rare event indeed, that there could be valid arguments on both sides of an issue, and one would be hard pressed to counter one side or the other with anything other than personal emotion, as I believe both sides of this discussion could present facts that would support them.

However, personally, I believe if an animal of any type is compromised to such an extent that it will clearly lead to prolonged suffering if no action is taken, then I firmly believe we as humans should act. The counter to that would obviously be that we don't interfere when a Cape Buffalo is being eaten alive for numerous hours, and that is as valid an argument as the opinion I presented. I don't believe there is any right or wrong on the matter, and simply personal preference. 

I personally have acted, when I have seen animals in the wild that were injured to the point that their outcome had been decided for them, so on a personal level I certainly know what I would do, hard to say what that response would be if there were laws or rules that dictated a particular response.

I'd agree with that. Something that is good though is that they will intervene if injury was caused by humans, such as snares. Reply
