Added to this is the strong pressure that these people are under due to the numerous recent cases of disappearances or deaths caused by inhabitants, which may have led them to take more drastic measures to support and preserve the lives of these animals.

I understand the point where interfering could harm the dynamics of the place and cause future damage to the coalition that “won” the dispute, however, the animal cannot be discarded if there is a need for its preservation due to the possibility of future damage, even more so assuming that everyone would have help until a self-sufficient amount is established

If the numbers of lions in the Mara have reached the level of needing intervention of this sort, then it would be in large part, if not entirely, the result of the level of poaching that is seemingly tolerated with little to no recourse for the offenders. Reply
