* The [[Fourth Doctor]] helped [[human]] scientists kill the last of the [[Pescaton]] by the application of high-frequency sound waves. The [[Pescaton]]s had fled [[Pesca|their dying homeworld]] in search of another planet with large areas of salt water that could support them. The act was unmistakably one of genocide, and both Doctor and [[human]]s did it without discussing any other options, such as resettling the Pescatons on another planet. Instead, the Doctor unusually called Pescatons "evil", which description seemed to justify wiping out the entire species. ([[AG]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Pescatons]]'')
