I understand this is different in that the lions clearly don't have to work for the food here and it is inevitable the goat is killed...but that is inevitable anyways.

It's sad to a point but it's pretty far down on my "what makes the world suck" list.
Watching a regal and powerful predator stalk its prey is awe inspiring... but its not something you stand up and cheer, especially when its such a hopeless display. Sometimes the Antelope/Gazelle/Human/other mammal gets away.
