This is no different from what is shown on Discovery or National Geographic every day. The fact that carnivores actually kill their food is not a lesson the young should miss.
That is completely false on the face of it. Animals in the wild fend for themselves and humans had no choice in that. Animals in captivity are entirely under the control of humans who make every choice for them.
The fact that carnivores actually kill their food is not a lesson the young should miss.
Animals in captivity have no need to do that and they are in no way doing that in this circumstance. Even if there were young in this pen of lions (and none appear in the photos) there is no hunting going on there and no pride heirarchy exists there for any teaching to go on.
