It's a very tough moral issue. It reminds me of what the Vet and QAWS say, no matter how bad you feel for that exotic animal being kept in a tiny cage, don't buy it because all it does is give the pet shop owner money to buy more...which is what giving aid does as well. If we save these people then the pricks who put them into such situations will think that they can just continue to do it and someone will eventually save them....

As heartless as it may sound it may actually be better in the long run to let these men die...however not many people, including myself could do that.
