It's impossible not to be intervening in some way. What animals do is what animals do, and us as humans can't change that fact. The leopard seal was only doing what it's instincts were telling it to do, and it would've killed penguins whether or not the man was there anyway.
And even if the penguins deaths were a waste, it will go to further nurture whatever creatures of the Antarctic live in those waters, so in a way, it's also not.
