Why not let him be?

Hi,

Can you tell me what the sentence in boldface means?

Peter saw no reason for the ferocity of the hunter’s actions, and he called, “David! You have him under your power! Why not let him be?”

Thank you very much.

My impression is the meaning is like "don't bother him" or "leave him alone". Does that make sense in context?
