That's what I'm thinking. They probably ran test screenings and the test audiences had a problem with "good guys" killing animals. Animals were killed on GOT before, but pretty much always by the "bad guys" - like Sansa's direwolf, killed because of Joffrey, or Rob's direwolf, killed by Frey's men during the Red Wedding. It was probably too late to re-shoot the scene, so they just cut it and hoped no one would care.
