OK.

I think it's dodgy grounds to be entertained by people killing animals, not the eating part of it. The ambiguity here is because it's a rat, a unlikable animal, if they were shooting down birds for entertainment then there would be more uproar.
Incidentally for the purposes of education it might be understandable to kill an animal for a TV show. Say a show about nature or where our food comes from as these are likely animals that would be killed anyway, humanly, and a tv camera simply films it.
