It is worth noting that the article says they are euthanizing the animals before feeding. So it's not like they take a terrified pet and let the tiger rip it apart alive.

Still, not a fan of this...

    Right in the article it says "The animals are gently euthanized by trained staff"

    They are tossed in to be torn appart. Iirc predators love to go balls first if the prey does not mean too much effort for them.
