Reminds me of a story some years ago, after the Valdez accident in Alaska.
After rescuing a couple of seals, and rehab'ing them back to health, they were brought back to the same waters for release.
After 10's of thousands of $, and weeks of rehab the shining moment came when they were released with cheers and tears, only to be attacked and eaten by killer whales within minutes as the spectators looked on in horror.
I thought this was hilarious. It's like stopping to let an animal cross the road, and then have it turn and run right back into traffic (and it's own demise).
