Guess we know now the divergences sentience brings in them.
They take care of the weak, like feral wolves, but they're now smart enough to asses the worth of doing so : an old wolf is a bank of knowledge so keeping it around is worth it. But a young wolf? Especially one who's handicapped for life (and again you're sentient enough to understand that)? It's not worth the investment in time and food.
And at the same time it also makes them able to explore different ways of thinking. As while feral wolves cease to help their care for the weak in times of intense hardships (starvation, expulsion from their territory...) Swift here can take a moral stand and make complex plans to prevent the loss of a beloved mate.
Such is the painful gift of (advanced) sentience : the ability to choose for good, bad, right or wrong. And disagree.

The interesting thing is RL pack animals will take care of the injured, even though they often seem fully aware when the injured won't ever fully recover.
And humans definitely do the same.
But the problem comes about when resources are stretched thin. In the real world often everyone starves together.

Well that explains why he refuses to leave the grassland. In the forest, he'd have to learn new skills to survive and knows he won't be able to keep up. By his own logic, he's only worth keeping around if his knowledge is worth anything. So he really is sacrificing Red to save himself, even if he doesn't think he is
