*They* were safe - as animagi - but no one else would have been.
They didn't *care*. Really, MWPP were horribly callous -- which is not surprising in teenage boys, but when it continues into their adult state it is rather disturbing. Remus does dismiss their irresponsibility pretty darned fast, after all; Sirius holds that Snape 'deserved it' re: the Prank; Peter shifts all the responsibility for his betrayal of the Potter onto the Dark Lord.
It's really disheartening, and while I can say that Sirius wasn't in his right mind after 12 years in Azkaban, Remus was definitely in *his* right mind. And Remus didn't seem that upset over his past behavior, but instead was more concerned that he would be found out.
