Kambula/Ntsevu Pride

Damn that's a nasty wound. Hopefully it closes up before any infections set in.

With regards to veterinary intervention, I have always believed that it is better to let Mother Nature take its course.

Yes lions are threatened, but that is due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict and poaching. Not natural mortality. If we intervene in natural injuries with this Kambula female, for example, where does it end? Pretty soon it will set a precedent whereby every known lion in the ecosystem gets vet treatment every time it picks up a natural injury. My issue with that is it eats away at resources that are better used to combat the human-related threats, which I believe are far more urgent and important to address. Reply
