Birmingham Pride of lions

[Duco Ndona]

I have to disagree very hard with that instagram post.

Intervening in such way would result in a situation where only the few animals with social media cloud gets helped while the less popular animals suffer.
Lions like the PCmales Ndzengas and Tumbella would constantly be propped up, while less popular lions would be left to die. It gives an unfair advantage of the old guard over new coalitions that still need to make a name for themselves. Which slows down the renewal of coalitions resulting into more inbreeding.

It will also result in a few cool species like lions, leopards or cheetahs getting all the help while the often ignored wildebeast or irrationally hated Hyenas gets none. 
Nor are white lions a rare species that needs to be protected over the others. Its just a genetic defect nature hasnt deleted itself yet.

Intervening is also not as helpfull as people make it out to be. Animals can easily die or hurt themselves while sedated and if the pride desides to come to her resque, the team may be forced to schoot them. It can very easily do more harm than good. Especially in this case where the lion seems to be healing just fine on its own.
Alternatively, how many lions would have been taken out of their misery that later ended up making a full recovery.
Its also very expensive to supply veterian aid constantly, while natural deaths are not the main issue plaguing lions right now. The money and energy is better spend combatting habitad loss or preventing HWC's.

There is also something hypocrite about a wildlife photographer, that likely watched and filmed countless succesfull hunts suddenly complain about nature beeing too cruel when the tables are turned. Reply
