Dolphins have been known to rescue humans from shark attack for instance, no benefit to them to do that but they're just in the feeling in the mood.

Well, I say that shooting into crowds benefits the world because I'm helping curb overpopulation. It's of a cost to me, but I'm willing to do it. Is this "nice"?
