It depends from reserve to reserve, Kruger policy is to not intervene, but some private reserve do euthanize if they see that animal cant survive.

Kruger do help if lion is injured by human cause.

What should I read to learn about the structure of South Africa's lion safari? 

If it's privately owned land, why don't you make efforts to prevent poaching, such as iron fences?
It is inhumane not to treat a poor lion injured by a human being when he would make a fortune watching the lion.

They have Kruger anti poaching units, but land is too vast to be safe from poaching at all time, incidents do happen.

You can buy antibiotics or disinfectant spray in Korea for only 1 to 3 dollars.It's not even a day's worth. At least three days' worth of capacity.

Kruger policy is to not treat lions if injury/disease is not cause by humans, unlike Masai Mara and few other reserve, where they do treat lions.

Yep, its quite expensive, but its their buisness. Reply
