Greetings
It's with some interest that I've noticed a large number of images that show one animal predating upon another. While, without exception, I accept that this is part of the natural cycle for wild animals, I've tended to notice that these sorts of images are becoming more common.
As a frequent wildlife photographer myself the number of times I've seen predation in the wild over the course of 6 years of wildlife photography you could count on one hand. It's therefore with some concern that I note that quite a few of these sorts of images are coming from just an increasing number of authors, leading me to question if they are in the habit of using live bait to elicit the predatory behaviour which they are documenting and submitting to 1X.
Whilst I accept that 1X cannot physically accompany a photographer into the field it should at the very least take some steps to ensure that wildlife images are taken in an ethical manner and enquire with the author of such images to, at the very least, ensure that no lives baits were used as I'm sure that 1x would not like to associate itself with the mistreatment of animals simply in pursuit of "the image".
Thank you.
Totally agree with you Robert.
Just today in the macro photo I have at curation they made this comment: "... Your comments on manipulation are both interesting and meaningless. A strong image is a strong image, regardless in how it was created.". The comment he is referring to is this: "Photos always without any kind of insect manipulation.".
PS: Thanks for the comment, unknown commenter :)
PS: I hope the translator has done a good job.

Hi Josep,
Thank you for your support on this issue.
And yes, the translator did a fine job.
Best regards,

Hi, I don't know how they do it.
I have read on another forum that there are areas where birds go because they find food (there are farms).Or there are sheds in natural areas where they have access.The discussion is then closed.
Some photographers always have the answer ready.
But you often hear a way of thinking whererby people who walk with their own legs or going uphill, instead of using a motorbike don't know the history of photography.
