A small voice of protest . . . . . this one is offensive. It is also bad karma.
If it were a photograph of FLT LT Bill Newton VC, being executed by
his depraved captors . .. or one of those disturbing shots taken during
the Vietnam War of contorted faces as the bullet enters the skull . . ..
they could not by any stretch of the satirical imagination be subjects for
a risible caption. And so it should be for the poor elephant, his face
showing all to plain, the depths of his agony.
