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 like the Mara vets who took care of Siena's grave injury and save her life back in April 2014
If we are to adopt this mindset than you will no longer have "survival of the fittest" and that would go against everything nature is built on. You also would open pandora's box, meaning where do we draw the line?
Shall we now intervene when a new coalition takes over because we don't want to see the cubs of the old coalition killed? Shall we intervene when a well known buffalo or hippo or other prey species gets injured and take away that food from the hunters who did it?
If that lion were to die, do you think it would be in vain?
I certainly don't, his carcass would feed numerous species, his place would be taken by a new male that will bring in a new lineage, this is the way of the world...
The circle of life.

yes bro i couldn't agree with you more. Letting nature take it's own course is the right thing to do. One recent example is when Blackie of the 4km Males being badly mauled by the Three Musketters. In my opinion, i feel that if the vets didn't intervane, Blackie's chances of survival is quite slim and the whole lion dynamics in the area would be very different.
