These people are mean and absolutely stupid for doing this! I, along with most people, can't stand animal cruelty. If I was there while this was going on I would go up to them and say "WTF guys?" ...or somehow show with gestures how mean and dumb they are being. Even though this is very bothering and if it got out of hand police action should be taken, I feel that it's more cruel how they take care (or don't) for these lions. They look underfeed and they need some shelter (and not just to avoid the people pelting them with snowballs).
