Now that's decent. The people helped the Loon in trouble. Good for them.
No we never really forget helping an animal in distress. Many years ago my friend and I were walking in a fairly remote place when we found a Blackbird tangled horribly in some untidy fence wire. Strands of wire seemed to pierce the bird's wings. I went to a nearby farm to ask for wire cutters, and told the farmer why. He was kind and lent them to us. Then I had to cut the bird out, being careful to leave the wire in its wings intact, while cutting it free so we could remove it.
There was an old lady in town at that time who helped injured wild birds, and we took it to her.
She gave it antibiotics and removed the wire slowly, then kept the Blackbird for a few weeks outside in an aviary. When it had recovered, we returned it to where we had found it.
I always hoped that it was okay afterwards.
