In Barks's 'The Doom Diamond' (US 70), the Beagle Boys Inc. leave the Ducks 
on a raft, doomed in a typhoon on the ocean. On their way back to Duckburg, 
they hear a radio message which tells that Scrooge McDuck, the financier, 
is presumed lost in a terrible storm the South Pacific. Unless he returns 
shortly, Duckburg officials will remove his vast fortune to Fort Knox. The 
Beagle Boys conclude that their trained falcons/bluejays won't be able to 
steal pints of Scrooge's money every day. They turn the ship around, to 
"Find Scrooge before it's TOO LATE!" 

This is rather odd motive to save the Ducks' lifes. The Beagle Boys don't 
show any emotion nor sentiment for the Ducks themselves. So, I'm not so 
sure if the Beagle Boys would never do something like killing the Ducks...
