Alright i am confused. When i watch a lion stalk and kill a animal on animal planet at home on my couch it's educational. But if i go to china and watch a lion stalk and kill a lamb it's a cruel spectacle.
Perhaps tossing them a live goat isn't the most humane thing for the goat, but is it really fair to feed the lions already dead meat which has been processed like we do in zoos in the rest of the world? Something tells me thats not exactly how the lions do it in the wild.
I guess in the western world we've decided that it's more humane to deprive the lion of its genetically evolved instinct to hunt and kill the animal ourselves and feed it to them then toss the animal in there live and have it play out as it does in nature.
I certainly won't be queueing up to see this anytime in the near future but to be honest if the animal rights activists are up in arms about this one it must be a slow day in the world of animal abuse. This is hardly going to "make me want to boycott everything Chinese".
