Animals & humans saving each other

Jens Cullmann: " Is the well being of animals morally relevant? .
Wild life photography is not all fun and games. Every day we can encounter situations in which we need to carefully decide what is the ethical thing to do. In this story we decided to rescue two Kudu antelopes despite the fact that there was a huge crocodile three meters away. We assessed the situation carefully and realised the crocodile was in ‘aestivation’ (like a wintersleep, due to harsh conditions) so it didn’t move when we approached. The antelopes were fully stuck in the mud and it took us luckily not to long before we could set them free. Fortunately no other predators were around. In this case my photography clearly took a second place over the animals lives. Animals can be equally harmed by either humans or natural evets; but they can also benefit from our help. I pride myself to be conscious of this. Thank you Carole @carolewildlife for capturing this story and Steven @camp_mana for helping in the rescue. . " |
