“I saw this on Star Trek, they were killing its babies. Kirk figured it out and all ended well iirc.”

Can’t remember the name of the episode. It was the Horta’s eggs that the miners on whatever planet kept destroying. Mrs. Horta was pissed and had the power to do something about it (unlike Australians). Spock had to do a mind-meld to finally get to the bottom of the issue.

By the time the show ended, the Horta’s little tykes were left to hatch and then they were blasting their way through rock like mad and uncovering new mineral deposits, so needless to say, the miners loved them.
