He literally just cut its throat, and pinned the animal's head into a "bleed hole" in the floor of his shed, with his foot, while the animal kicked for its life as it bled to death.

Likewise, I successfully hunted and snared my first rabbit (which we later ate in rabbit stew) at the age of 5.

So a dead goat carcass? Big frickin' deal. I actually know a dude who has a few goats he'll soon slaughter (if he hasn't done so already).
I really don't think most of the people upset about this feel that way because of the gross factor, bro. Anyone that's stepped out of the city for a day can handle a dead carcass, I'm sure. All of the examples you mentioned involved EATING the animal that was killed, implying that you were using it for something other than a party prop. I could be wrong about that, but otherwise it doesn't sound like you really get it. It's beyond just gross -- it's inhumane.

And I'm going to completely contradict myself by laughing at this. XD
