oops, don't used trained animals then pass them off as wild...

this story kind of caught my attention because the photo is so damned cool but alas, turns out that the wolf in the pic was a trained animal available for hire.

this pic was chosen as the winner from among 46,000 entrants for wildlife photographer of the year. the former winner has been stripped of the award and banned for life from the competition.

still an awesome pic even if the wolf in it was trained.

What i wanna know is who snitched on him. As per the article they stripped him of the award based on inconclusive evidence.

And no i don't believe they can tell that just by looking at a pic, just as you can't tell if someone has mental problems based on a pic of them.

:cool:
