Your intentions behind the injury, and the effort you put into the search, are irrelevant to the amount of suffering experienced by the animal if it is not found. Perhaps one person's behavior is more ethical with regard to the decisions they made, but their effect on the world is not different. Thus, we should make it easier for people to use tools to find such injured animals, so their effect on the world will be more positive (or less negative) than otherwise.
