I cannot see how "filling the frame" can ever be "bad advice". If "filling the frame" is possible then that's the way to go. If it's not possible then so be it. At least it deserves consideration - every time.
Its a reliable rule of thumb for boring pix.

An interesting discussion. As I said, I crop because I shoot subjects that are too far way to fill the frame even with a 600mm lens. That said, I have wondered why there has been no mention of using a balance of empty and filled space, or "nose room" for subjects oriented to the left or right, or "head room," rule of thirds, vanishing point and perspective, or any of the many other ways to create a pleasing arrangement of the subject in the frame. Rules are made to be broken, but they should still be considered in the creative process.

And that's just some of the options that you're excluding by filling the frame with the subject/s.

Filling the frame is nice if you want a portrait. But having some space to include the animal's environment lends context. Neither is right or wrong. It comes down to what you are trying to convey with the image.
