Tbh though, I sort of doubt any real malice was intended. Like Vivi said, it could be the bear overreacts to everything just by nature, and so the zoo keepers thought they'd have some fun. I dont think cub lions have come to the point of developing a real killer instinct. That and well fed felines tend to be very tame I have heard.
