The other point about the shackles is that they would prevent the Kangaroo from hopping - that is their normal method of movement - they don't walk as such, though they do use their tails to push themselves along in small, slow movements when they are grazing. I assumed that they were put on for the photo, and then removed. Glatt has confirmed that it is a fake image, so I'm less upset about it now, although I still do not like the concepts that the image presents.
