Should we humans use our strength (intelligence) to help nature?
In the video you see an example of humans helping an animal in need.
I ask myself this sometimes.
When I see an animal in trouble I try to help it. In pain I carry a hedgehog off the street, I take a weakened raven home with me, or I try figuring out why a female duck stands on the street at night and won't stop quacking. It didn't even try to flee from me, it bit me and insisted on staying on the street.
But should I do this?
Some people say we should not intervene in nature. But we humans with our intelligence are part of nature. Nature made us.
What is your stance on this?

A duck in the middle of the street is not nature. Most domesticated animals are so far removed from nature that they would die without humans to care for them. Breeds have been created over hundreds of generations with horrible health issues, genetic flaws, and a myriad of problems merely because it makes the animal mor aesthetically pleasing as a pet. A wild or undomesticated animal within the confines of an area that has been shaped, created, or re-made to suit the needs of mankind is an animal that is not in nature, and there is nothing natural about it. So when animals have problems dealing with these areas as a habitat, become injured, or otherwise end up in distress, yes. Absolutely. Mankind should help alleviate that because it is mankind that has caused them to be in the position they are in.
