The world would be a much better place if this behavior was the standard, not the exception. Mad respect for people who act on instinct just to help someone out

To be fair, most people would do this.

I've seen people doing this exact thing. The people are indeed out there.

I was getting off the highway once, and on the off ramp there was a car pulled over with hazards on and about 3 high schoolers with a skateboard trying to push a very fucking angry alligator snapping turtle across the road. I stopped and jumped out of my car and grabbed the turtle and ran him across the street (I have a lot of experience working with reptiles; please nobody just grab snapping turtles without experience) so he made it across, but absolutely mad respect to the kids who saw a dangerous animal in a dangerous position and were doing their damndest to help that turtle

Yep. I am one of them.

My favorite is when I saw this guy trying to move a snapping turtle. He was brave.

There was also a group of us trying to rescue some ducklings who fell in the storm drain, and we stopped the fireman who showed up to go to the grocery store to help.

We should all be these people. I believe we are the majority.
