You didn't fight your way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian,
huh? :-)
My personal opinion on the subject is there's nothing inherently sinful in
using a flash to take a picture of an animal "in the wild" , especially if
it's on rare occasion. If we're talking about wild birds, you most likely
will get only one shot before they take to flight if your using the flash.
So how much of a cumulative affect is there?
On the other hand I wouldn't be taking shot after shot using flash with a
caged animal, as it seems that could be harmful to the animal.
Question: Why don't presidents and celebrities go blind? I suggest it's
because their pupils contract to limit the light getting in. Also birds fly
around in the sky with a gigantic blazing ball of gas and don't seem to go
blind.
