Was gonna say, "who gives a fuck?" Some people don't have weeks to stake out the Alaskan wilderness to get shots of wolves that nobody will buy and by definition, if it's stock photography, it's devoid of context. Obviously, welfare of the animals and safety of everyone around them is of tantamount importance. Threats to safety and comfort of the animals should be prosecuted/remedied as appropriate. The only "controversy" the author can find seems to be The International Society of Photographers Whose Revenues Have Dried Up Since The Advent of Digital Photography and their outrage that Instagram doesn't care if its critters are captive or wild.
