Keeping it balanced

This link, http://members.tripod.com/~animom/tumai.html suggests at something that may not be there. While they say pictures do not lie, I also suggest pictures may tell you what you want to hear. An important picture to the telling of the story can not be enlarged to really tell what it is. Not knowing why at is I ask and this was the response:
"Wade, I don't know the answer to this, so I called Joe at work. He said that the person sending or uploading the picture can reduce the pixel density." If this is the case, then the whole link, story, and what happened is suspect. I would think they would want every picture to be crystal clear to validate their claims. When I enlarged it slightly, I saw a rope going over the elephants head, which as we see above is not uncommon or inhumane in the moving of a large animal. I have used ropes to "flip" or pull over and restrain a horse, which was in need of medical attention. An elephant can turn into an instant "Gumby" if it does not want to go someplace or do something it doesn't want to do. The picture may show a pad, towel, blanket laid on the elephants head to prevent a rope burn from the rope. No a burn is not bad, any more then us receiving a "burn from a pulled rope. Just a slight pain and discomfort. I would consider the history of an individual as a whole in making a decision, but I would not necessarily point a finger by the pictures that were sloppily downloaded on the site.
