The ethics of being unethical

Keeping animals in captivity and making a spectacle of them is bad, it is unethical. Trying to think of captions about evolution and how monkeys can eat lollies better than many children is not much better. This is why we pleaded with our photographer to keep returning to the spot until he came up with a photo where the chain does not show, although he could not avoid the big steel lock coming into the frame. We decided it is a poetic take on the plight of animals, and how their relationship with humans often involves a lock and key. But look, no chains! Progress.
