One of the reasons I stopped uploading to 500px. It was images like this, that were all over the place.

Think it goes without saying, treat your subjects as you would wish to be treated !!

It's odd with the whole "Indonesian photographers" slant. They do all seem to be Indonesian, but it would make sense to think they're all friends/colleagues who have come across an easy way to make quick money as opposed to being a nationwide moral issue.
The frog with umbrella shot is so obviously staged (from a "natual behaviour" POV) you wonder why people thought it was genuine.
Strange they all seem to be from the Daily Fail too...

Finally someone exposing them all at once. It's awful.
The worst are the few photographers on 500px that take baby birds from their nests before they are fledged, and places them on a prop. The mother then comes to feed them outside. The birds are so young that they don't even react to the food. No doubt they soon die, even though he claims to quickly return them to the nest.
Awful ethics.
