Video of little girl playing with dead squirell . ?

We were just watching an episode of tosh.o and we saw a video of little girl playing with a dead squirell. I personally thought it was wrong and disturbing for the parents to let her continue playing with a dead animal, let alone record it and broadcast it on the internet. My friend thinks its completely fine they let her play with the dead animal, he says that whats another five minutes of playing with it ?? because it wont do any harm to her. I am more worried about the safety of the girl and he seems to think I'm over reacting. What do you think?

    I think as children we're curious about death and don't always fully understand it, but as parents we shouldn't allow our children to make a mockery of it, playing with a dead animal is unhealthy, with parasites and diseases. It's not something we can stop though, from an audience view we can't force a parent to be a better parent, but I can easily agree that I wouldn't want my child touching something dead, that also seems like playing with misfortune. Even still it could be worse if she had caused it's death, but better yet, until children understand what it is, then parents shouldn't contribute to negative things that might traumatize or make their child sick.
