“Not just an evolutionary case study: a classic problem in ethics - perhaps utilitarian philosophy - probably sleeping a few metres from us. The close one, or the distant many.

“Audiences see personalities on shows interacting with wild animals as if they were not dangerous or, at the other extreme, provoking them to give viewers an adrenaline rush. Mostly, the animals just want to be left alone, so it’s not surprising that these entertainers are seriously hurt or even killed on rare occasions. On one level, it’s that very possibility the shows are selling.”
