Not to mention most trophy hunts are for male lions...
There are always a surplus of males since their pride-based social structure is polygamous... and too many males stress existing prides by constantly trying to beat the dominant male... reducing the productivity of females and endangering cubs in all stages of growth. Each time the resident male is defeated a new one takes over and kills the former’s cubs.
But what you describe is too “binary” and “hetero normative”. What about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered lions? Don’t they deserve equal rights?? Shouldn’t lion society reflect this????
