It’s unfair for humans to claim “saving” creatures from what humans have done to their respective ecosystems to begin with. It’s like setting a nursing home on fire and randomly helping 2 residents out as you leave. You didn’t save 2 people, you murdered 198 instead of 200.

So it’s still technically a save but only as far as different humans have different interests. The culpability is still as a whole on us as a species.
