It's not a move based on compassion, but efficiency.

This clearly showed Mayr’s grandeur: very shortly before he passed away at the age of 100, he saw one of his most important research hypotheses proven wrong.

Nice. ((** all names have been changed to protect identities and have been substituted with (almost) randomly chosen substitutes suitable for a family of Alpine Accentors.)) If you know or hear of other examples, please let me know and I will add them to this list. yourbirdoasis, I added a list of some examples which I had found.
