should interfere with the course of events in order to save an animal they are filming (and have come to love and respect) which is finding itself in extreme danger which only their intervention could save from a likely death?
My question is inspired by a television series inwhere a crew were faced with having to decide whether to intervene when confronted by the desperate scene of a single Cheetah cub, whose life was being threatened by a large murderous-looking (!) male Baboon, with little that the mother could do to save it. Fortunately the Baboon withdrew, but perhaps due to the presence of the cars and crew!
The commentator admitted that they were often placed in a quandry, due to their belief that "they should not play God" and interfere with the natural course of things.

Don`t you think that in any case, just by their presence they provide a feeling of unnatural security for many animals, who often seek protection by being close to the cars?
So does it really matter?

well, we humans are also animals, do you think they should intervene to save one of our lives or not? or just let nature take its course

No, even though it may seem like a horrific thing to do by standing there letting a small innocent animal die, but every little thing that happens in the world has reason and order, every cell in your body has a specific task..maybe that Baboon had a heard of starving babies, many are more important than one in nature. Nature has it's own balance system, the fish eats the worm, the duck eats the fish, the bear eats the duck and so on. When it comes to creatures disappearing, when it's our faults (and it usually is these days) thats the only time we should interfere and take these creatures into captivity, but if its because of natural causes, we should not and cannot interfere.

They shouldn't in the first place because they are there to document the film and capture the moment as what it happens. The very purpose of taking a film in the wilds is to show to mankind how animals survive in the wild. How nature works in the wild.

Their presence are always considered by the animals as a threat because animals could sense who there known predators are and the sound of the vehicle they are riding is already a strange feeling to them. Their natural tendency is to be scared because animals by nature are sensitive. And for them it is a big matter.

we are in a decrepit older abode that incredibly ought to be torn down. approximately 5 years in the past, a extensive field rat have been given into the abode, probably by using the water heater transport group. It holed up in a mattress room; glue traps have been no sturdy, classic traps did no longer artwork; a pal's cat ought to do no longer something; i ultimately had to get the animal administration officers back eliminate it with a grabber gizmo and cage. And, to get them back, I had to threaten the director with a skill call to a television station information group, in the event that they did no longer do some thing. constantly threaten with the television information group; it scares the bejeepers out of officers.

They stay away from the scene but I agree with you, they should interfere for example to save a starving chita.
