Baited/set up shots - ethical?

[operanut1972]

RAOFLOL!

I just choked on my granola!!!!! Great comeback, I have to be honest if a shot is good and the animal is not harmed what's the problem? We have spent to long making sure we follow what the PC 'crowd' says as they were running the show, that we've lost sight of what we are doing. Time to unwind and follow sensible guidance without sweating about who is going to moan"

Load of rubbish.
There is NO environment or wild animal in the Uk that has not in some way been affected by mans activities.
In the days when I drove to work I was 30 times more likely to see badger killed by road traffic than a hedgehog. At least one a day for the whole of the spring, Summer and Autumn.
Yet I expect that the complainants still drive cars. Most of us advocate feeding birds and animals. what is wrong with taking photos of them.
Some folk have nothing better to do than moan.
I will not contribute to this thread again as I may encourage the rubbish.

It's ok Bigdave, I think most people on here were with you and agree that there are not too many ethical issues, in their eyes anyway

And relax... lol
