Crittercam- For or Against?

From the picture to the left you can see the lovely little backpack this lucky penguin gets to haul around so that I can sit in the comfort of home and watch what it would be like to live, eat, hunt, swim in the Arctic as this penguin. The question comes up, is this right to do? The pro argument would say that these critter cams create insights into the worlds of creatures people would not otherwise know and this creates an awareness to conserve and protect these animals which now have faces since we have seen them swim around a bit. The against argument would say that these little cams, though no one who is involved in the them would admit to it, does create a strain on the animals natural life. I think it is a bit harder to hide and swim away from predators with the latest video technology strapped to your back. Also the animals bodies are not use to the (relative to size) huge machine now attached to them. Although the footage is amazing that I have watched, (one video was on an arctic sunset through the view of a seal, now when would I have EVER been able to see that if it wasn't for the seal?) I think that it isn't something that we should really be doing. Or is it doing more good than harm? Check it out for yourself.....http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/crittercam/
