It is impossible to answer such a specific question with a single answer.
I can think of a number of reasons, but I certainly can't quote from
scriptures that will answer your question. My belief is that the deer
being killed brutally is a "container" for a soul that needed to experience
it because in a previous life that soul killed brutally without any need
i.e. in a human body, killing and torturing for pure pleasure. I can also
think of other reasons why the deer is "introduced to the lion".
I don't think you understood the question. Let's assume that the lion
or even man has the ability to kill and is 'higher' in your scale of
evolution by religious merit. Then what causes the desire for killing
to be introduced in higher forms ? That is a contradiction to the
very notion of that form being a "higher" one. It makes no sense at all.

Well, you are certainly entitled to your *opinion*! And it is merely your
opinion, nothing more.
Let's elaborate a bit more on this subject. Everyone is usually
expected to justify his opinion on some ground or another when he
comes into contact with a differing opinion. Should someone fail to
do so rationally, he and the detractor has a right to know and make
note of the fact that the belief is mere emotion and nothing else!
And that is a significant discrimination!
I have no objection and cannot object rationally to anyone saying that
they view the cow as sacred because they have some emotional
attachment to the animal. But when someone comes up with a model to
support their views, they have to defend the model because such a
philosophical framework IMPLIES rationality.
And when someone comes up with scriptural quotes as the basis, they
have to explain contrary practices of "go-medha" of the Vedic period.
Just as horses were sacrificed during "ashwa-medha" cows were
sacrificed during "go-medha" (Skanda Purana).
THUS ANY CLAIM THAT ALL THE VEDIC PEOPLE REFRAINED FROM KILLING COWS
CAN EASILY BE REFUTED! I DON'T HAVE TO PROVE THAT ALL THE PEOPLE
KILLED COWS, I ONLY HAVE TO PROVIDE SEVERAL INSTANCES FOR YOUR
GENERALIZATION TO BECOME INVALID! AND THOSE I HAVE PROVIDED.
