LoL. As if lions in a zoo need to exercise their hunting instincts. They won't ever be released into the wild (at least, successfully) if raised in a zoo.

Just feed them tuna in a can and be done with it.

The lions still killed the donkeys quickly and fairly humanely like they do in the wild; that's kind of interesting (although the lions could have just been captured, rather than raised in captivity)

There are quite a few animals that don't really try and kill their prey -- they just go straight ahead to eating it. Cats tend to go straight for the throat to kill their prey first.

But the idea that nature/the wild is in any way humane is far-fetched. Animals do that which immediately benefits them. They do whatever is in their power to do.
