Almost 3 million healthy and adoptable dogs and cats are killed each year. Heck, almost 3 million children die of hunger related causes each year. I'm just not going to get all worked up because a zoo killed a giraffe and fed it to the lions. The lions weren't eating salad every day before this happened.

I guess this "learning experience" worked for you. Do you suppose all the children that viewed this also learned something from it.....if so, what? Hard to believe that you are comparing children dying to the slaughter of an animal.
If folks are disturbed by this action...as I am....why are you trying to justify it by comparing it to other deaths? How does ones caring about an animal being killed have anything to do with its worth? It's a living creature....people care. Maybe you don't, but other do. Don't tell others not to care.
