I completely agree. It is disgusting: not the picture itself, but what is the story behind leading to it. I am glad these attrocities have been documented, even though I also feel so sad for the people, that had to become examples for it. I can only hope at least some consented to be photographed, or that adds just an another layer of disgustingness for the whole affair.
