They seem to be expressing a desire to be left alone, one which I would respect.

I agree that these savages should be left alone, but they should pay a price. About killing them?
I'd rather not see us tame them, clothe them, feed them and educate them.
Not me. I'd advocate the "interuption" of cultural isolation to create an understanding that innocents are NOT to be randomly slaughtered without severe implications for their health.
A one time show of extreme force (not necessarily violent, I mean show) would go a long way. make them understand that we will leave them alone if they don't murder innocents who happen to get caught on their island.
I know that the fishermen were breaking the law and stuff, but who's to say next time it won't be a family or something?
I would done the same to the Mayans and Aztecs in South America if they were around. I'd leave their civilizations mostly intact, but this sacrifice of captured strangers? Maybe a few environmentalists at first, but I'd put a stop to it. Let them feed upon their own people.
