There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
It's a tricky situation, leaving aside the human-lion conflicts, Mara has saved countless lions with vet intervention, lions that would have died from natural causes, fighting other lions.
The BRB themselves have been treated more than once, had they never been and no human intervention had ever happened, would Oloshipa be alive and bump onto those Cheetah at that exact time? Idk.
My overall view is that nature should follow its course and humans shouldn't intervene at all, and I'm certainly against vets treating males lions that fought each other. Still, at a time where the species is in danger due to lack of territories ( now occupied by humans ) I'm not against certain interventions.
I remember when the Othawas got wiped out because Western Sector was fenced and they couldn't escape anywhere, I thought it was unfair and wouldn't mind if they fed the subs till they learned how to hunt ( luckily they learned quickly and started thriving ), specific interventions like these I support since it'd be the end of the biggest and at the time only proper established pride in the region who were trapped because their entire territory was fenced.
Anyway I'm happy the Cheetah were saved and although in a perfect scenario where the animals have big enough areas and humans aren't a threat to them, we shouldn't intervene at all, once you start treating lions and saving many of them from death, you can't really claim you should let the lion kill the Cheetah because "let nature takes its course".
