If lions are made of meat why don't lions eat other lions?!


Question: Prions are not your friend.
Carnivorous animals aren't as nutritious or safe to eat as herbivores.
Professional courtesy. Most animals don't eat within the species.

I don't know, why don't you go to Africa and ask them.
Yeah, my name isn't Bobb, it is Robert.

For the same reasons that if beef is full of cholesterol and beef comes from cows, why don't cows drop dead of heart attacks?

The same reason (most) humans don't eat other humans. The same reason sharks don't eat other sharks. It only gets to that point if there is nothing left to eat.

well, i guess the same reason why humans don't eat other humans.

Good question.
The wisdom of God never learnt by human.
Love & care exist in all beings, obviously among their own "race" or species.

In this context, human is worst than animal. He will back-step his own species, slain the weakest, captivate, imprison & slain others.

Who said human never eat other human?? There were history of tyranny, cannibalism and butchering...
read the book "world greatest Crooks, Crimes and Corruption.
Pls see also today's Koreans' infant corpse eating culture!

I've seen a documentary about lions where a male lion killed the male cubs of a rival male lion, and then ate most of them (but left enough for hyenas to pick on). I think when lions form their prides it becomes a family unit, and they won't eat lions within their own family (this is probably to ensure survival of a species... they'd be eliminated pretty quickly if they all started to eat one another) but they will kill and sometimes nibble on rival lions for territorial reasons. I'm not exactly an expert on lions but this was featured in a two-hour long documentary on lions.

Lions are social animals. Social animals stay in groups for safety and survival so killing others of their species wouldn't make sense for them.

UV Ray: Sharks eat other sharks all the time. Most species of sharks are not social animals.

But they do on occasion. Most animals including people (see the movie Alive) will resort to cannibalism duing times of extreme crisis. Many predators like hyenas and chimps practice cannibalism.

PS sharks eat other sharks. Lions will eat hyenas, chimps, other lions and predators if given the choice. lions don't obsess with diet and choices the way humans do. They will eat what is available. Nor do they make moral and ethical arguments about it. Neither do they make outrageous claims like herbivores make for a healthier meal than carnivores (huh????). Lions eat herbivores because they are generally weaker even in large herds.

If lions preyed on other lions, it probably wouldn't have helped the species survive.

Some animals have pride over their own species. Obviously god created with emotion and feelings as well.

Anyway, human regarded everything is "nothing is unclean".
Huh, intellectual and moral deviation !!

they do , they will kill and eat the young so they can breed again .and humans are cannables in some parts of the world . and a shark will eat another shark if its in a feeding frenzie , pigs will eat anything including eachother . do some reasearch it will enlighten you to these facts.... thanx and have a meaty day..

Only the Dahmer lions do that.

For the same reason that people go to the grocery store to buy meat instead of chasing a cow with a knife and two slices of bread. You go for the easier prey. If lions tried to eat other lions they'd get their butts kicked. Antelope don't put up much of a fight.
