Reading this I could not help but think of humans as fish, other mammals or some other organism being "tagged" and "tracked", without their consent (but with some purported benefit to the organism, agreed upon by the researchers). Often researchers tag organisms in an effort to help them survive in a world where humans threaten their continued health or existence. But not always.

It is the idea of "without their consent" that is most intriguing.

It's arguable that sometimes organisms can survive on their own, with the adaptions evolution has provided them with, and without tagging, tracking and human intervention.
