Ethics are always in the mind when it come to Wildlife Photography..
Wildlife photographers are prone to the phrase ethical or not.. for example use a captive animal or a wild animal.


This link to the website talks to wildlife photographer and film maker Jeff Hogan about this situation. There is an interview with his talking about..

• rules that professional photographer have to follow regarded with wildlife
• Your own personal code with ethics when in the field around wildlife photography
• about photographer using bait for the attention of animals and its effect on their behaviour
• about the composition when looking for a good photograph, moving the animal an inch or two across
• the staging, scenery

There are many more about these question and many other questions, i find it to be worth reading, its interesting about others opinions on ethics in wildlife photography. It also discusses other situations and things that have happened.
