Dont misunderstand me, I actually agree with Lief and Nogbad's views on welfare of your subject - both put clearly and succinctly too, thank you!
I was just intrigued by the reference to 'cheating'.
My own view on that is honesty matters - just as with images of captive animals. If this is declared, I view the image differently to a 'wild' shot. ie purely from an aesthetic viewpoint rather than as a 'natural history' image.
