It is, therefore, good to know that you are an ‘ethical’ wildlife photographer. At least we have your word for it. Perhaps thou doth protest too loudly?”

Reminds me of the time a photographer said your small tour group was too large to photograph nesting shorebirds ethically, but was later observed repeatedly running and kicking at a nest in an effort to get the incubating parent to fly (and afterwards lied to multiple witnesses that he hadn’t).
