A pod of dolphins circled protectively round a group of New Zealand swimmers to fend off an attack by a great white shark. Rob Howes and three other lifeguards were on a training swim about 100 metres offshore at Ocean Beach near Whangarei when the dolphins raced in and herded the group together. “They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us.”


“The ends do not justify the means.” If you use illegal mean to accomplish a legal and even desirable result, the good result does not make the bad means you used justifiable.
