Its a predatory animal killing and eating its prey.

No it's not the same. The zoo is not the wild out doors where animal prey has a decent chance of avoiding their predator. Lions and big cats for that matter don't alway nab their prey after stalking them. Hack & Lube posted some stats in regards to gazelles.
Wether that documentry is filmed or not those animals involved will be killed and eaten regardless - that's the difference. What goes on in that China zoo is a staged event run by sadistic humans.
As for animal abuse, what chance did that Lamb have that was tossed over the edge? Or how about the broken legs it must have suffered?
The zoo is not a natural preditory enviroment.
