Reminds me - I was filming for a cruise in a remote area a few months ago. There was a baby turtle that was struggling to get out of the hole from where its siblings had escaped that morning. The guest lecturer ended up in a feisty debate with a guest (who happened to be some sort of environmental researcher) about whether it was appropriate to even-just-slightly help the turtle out of the hole or leave it to struggle and be picked off by birds. All in front of 10-20 other guests who were all pretty keen to see the turtle bolt for the ocean.
The lecturer wanted to prevent it being helped but eventually gave in. (The turtle wasn't particularly weak, just got a bad break with the shell or caved face of the hole it seemed.)
