Why isn't anyone helping that walrus

That's always the dumbest thing in nature films; they film some animal drowning in a bog and the narrator's like "yes well you see nature if very cruel and so on" and it's like we all know there's at least one dude filming that poo poo that could easily help that animal, but no, gotta get that shot. That jerk probably pushed that animal in the bog to begin with! Just like that Disney film where they threw the lemmings off that cliff because they had heard lemmings like to fall to their deaths but for some reason just couldn't get them to do it naturally.

There's probably even a dude up on that cliff pushing that walrus off too! Reveal yourself!!! :mad:

It's even more ironic because the position is that the Walrus...es are falling down the cliff and dying because climate change has melted the ice that would normally let them slide down. Human intervention has caused them to die, and human intervention could save them, but the idea that nature is cruel and cannot be tamed sells better than telling people they need to enact change.

The point of a nature documentary is to document nature for educational purposes. Unfortunately this is the kind of thing that happens all the time in nature. If you don’t like it stop loving up the environment

The dumbest thing about images of any sort of widespread tragedy is people bitching about how the person documenting it "didn't help".

This isn't a one-time occurrence, it's not something one single person can stop, or fix, or even make any real impact in. Showing it the world is helping.

from what i remember reading it is just as plausible from available evidence that walruses fling themselves off cliffs because they're idiots as because of climate change

Also you people do realise that they’ll have been filming this from a distance right? And that even if someone did have super human speed to get over there before the walrus hits the ground it’s a loving walrus they weigh like 4000 pounds it’s not like they’ll be able to catch it.

Having the film crew save walruses for one day (more likely get crushed/gored by walruses within one hour) and not filming it does gently caress all in the long run.

Idiots need to stop pretending saving endangered animals or the environment in general is the right use case for human kindness towards an arbitrarily chosen individual unless you're talking about literally the last three dozen rhinos getting poached.

Anyway, I keep picturing all these big walruses on this big hill of jagged rock and all. Hundreds of walruses and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of that crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everyrus if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're wobbling and walrusing around and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher on the cliff and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.

I'm accidentally a suicide bomber!

Holden : You're on a Russian beach, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down...
Leon : What one?
Holden : What?
Leon : What beach?
Holden : It doesn't make any difference what beach, it's completely hypothetical.
Leon : But, how come I'd be there?
Holden : Maybe you're fed up. Maybe you want to be by yourself. Who knows? You look down and see a walrus, Leon. It's crawling toward you...
Leon : Walrus? What's that?
Holden : [irritated by Leon's interruptions] You know what an elephant seal is?
Leon : Of course!
Holden : Same thing.
Leon : I've never seen an elephant seal... But I understand what you mean.
Holden : You reach over and you flip the walrus over the ledge, Leon.
Leon : Do you make up these questions, Mr. Holden? Or do they write 'em down for you?
Holden : The walrus falls off the precipice, its bulbous body bouncing off the cold rocks in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to stop its fall to the crags below, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.
Leon : [angry at the suggestion] What do you mean, I'm not helping?
Holden : I mean: you're not helping! Why is that, Leon?
[Leon has become visibly shaken]
Holden : They're just questions, Leon. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response... Shall we continue?
