So yes, actually true.

No it isn't. The context is ambiguous. Not that it matters either way since I do maintain a substantial disagreement regarding the most common outcome for larger-than-sparrow-but-still-not-important creatures that token do-gooders try to intervene to rescue.

It would not seem controversial to suggest that neither of us are likely to learn anything from this conversation so I'm going to leave it at that.
