Another quote from my comic
"Isn't it funny, that the things we deem 'inhuman' are the cruelties only humans commit"
Again, it's paraphrased, but worth remembering
Yeah I was thinking the same thing, lion prides consist mostly of lionesses and maybe one male lion. They probably thought they were hurting a cub and rescued her. Nobody messes with lion cubs.
If they can get away with it, a whole pride versus one male are pretty poor odds especially if they have a male protect them as well. But they will definitely kill the babies if they get the chance.
