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.

I am conflicted about the amount of intervention though. Chasing the Kaskaz off and all.

When they did it with the cheetah, it was explained to me how hard they are working to help the cheetah recover, so I understood. But, in this situation, it does not make any sense at all, as hard as it is, you can't go interfering with nature, every time you see an animal being hurt by other animals. Nobody interfered in the Baba Yao situation, when he broke that cub's back, as it should be, and that was one of the toughest videos I have ever watched, I cannot imagine how it felt to be there in person. I am the last person who ever wants to see any lion harmed (or any animal for that matter), but it is the way of nature, if I have that much of an issue with it, then I should start following something else.

I agree, the young Paradise boy was in their territory, it’s not like this was in no mans land and nothing would have come from this altercation, the Kaskaz males were quite literally defending their territory. Now if he received vet treatment after they had stopped, fine, but u can’t run off dominant, pride males for no reason at all. 

Let’s say the boy did recover, he then comes back with his brothers and kills a cub / subadult, or worse, injures one of the pride males, how is that fair. 

I remember hearing a Sabi Sands guide say he personally shot between 10-15 lions that were so severely damaged by the Mapogos, it was the best option. Any credible vet would have known that boy was going to die and wouldn’t have intervened like that, I’m not saying the vets on scene weren’t knowledgeable, certainly more than me, but hinting that the ppl behind these decisions most likely aren’t. I’d argue them chasing off the Kaskaz males only prolonged his death, they could have finished him off much quicker.
