I worry about whales in that respect. Is ritual mass suicide part of their culture/religion, and are we offering them a grave insult - perhaps even consigning them in their own eyes to lifelong disgrace or eternal damnation - by "saving" them?
Exactly. Its just like that with Klingons too. They prefer to die in battle. If they lose, and are wounded, to be saved is a horrible shame.
This sounds bad to us humans at first, but eventually we have to just let them have their culture and not interfere.
Much of the western world still needs to learn not to impose its culture on other parts of the world, no matter how tasteless it seems to them.
