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.

The goat may get away the first couple times in the wild, but this can't go on forever. Sooner or later it will be eaten alive. Goats can't continously, throughout their entire lives, out-run their predators until the point where they have a peaceful death and die of old age.

I do agree that throwing the goat 30 feet below is cruel. This is where I sort of have a problem with it. I wouldn't really care at all if they lowered the goat down nicely...
