Ok so Ive learned that China doesnt have the same standards as the rest of the world. I went on a little trip to last weekend away from the city of Beijing, to a place called Safari World. While there, we have the option to actually feed the hungry lions/tigers live chickens or goats. Whether this is right or wrong I dont want to get into. But lets say I had plenty of opportunity to take some snaps of a feeding frenzy. So I will post a few samples of what I saw, if the demand for more comes up, I may post some other shots (if allowed).
Thanks for looking. I believe all pics were taken with my Sigma 70-200.

Those pics are from a lion, not tiger, I suppose you know that, but the title, is confusing ;-)a

But nice pics.

with exception of #2 you seem to be cutting off their ears. #3 is awesome shot, you can even see the blood drops hanging from the hairs on her chin. Just would like to have seen the entire head.

Yup, as someone who's in-laws drag him to China and Taiwan all the time, it's very different in that standards they set.

When I was taking these photos, I KNEW I wasnt getting the entire shot at times becasue of the 70-200. I needed something wider as the Lions came closer. The problem was that the feeding took such little time, I didnt have time to change lenses. Then the animal would run after getting some food, sometimes twords me! Again, I hope noone is seriously offended by these pics, as the get messy!

I don't see why whould someone get offended by this pics -- This is mother nature. Why do they have some many of them...they must have some STRONG lion around.

The shots seem a bit over-saturated on the yellow side. Maybe a WB play is in order ?

In Nature...its Mother nature. In a Zoo its usually some guy named Fred feeding the animals. This is the Asian version of "Fred".
