I had the same thoughts, but not that easy I guess. No doubt they were thinking they could not help them all so why intervene with nature but if I could have I would have. It was heartbreaking to see and I admit to shedding a tear or two myself.

It says on the story they had no high fat animal meat or a tranquilizer gun. So decided to film so it did not 'die in vain'. Not entirely sure why filming the poor thing dying means it hasn't died in vain though

Saw about this yesterday, one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever heard of.

Literally sat and broke my heart when I saw this yesterday.

Although feeding it would be as just unethical imo, it would effectively just be prolonging its suffering. If it could not sustain itself then

I felt the same Vicky why film it dying,it could hardly stand never mind attack them they must have had some sort of food to give it,It could have taken days to die,plenty of time to get food to it surely,such a sad sad story.

Well filming it dying also would prolong it's suffereing,surely putting it out of it's misery would have been kinder.
