Some people will keep an animal alive with an incurable condition instead of having it put down and out of its misery. They are doing it for their sake, not for that of the animal, I think that is very cruel.
Once again, that is just you opinion
Some humans would wish to be put down if they were really ill, yet the law doesn't allow that.
Sadly this lion saw a potential source of food on his territory, or maybe he viewed humans as a danger to him.
If the lion was living in a normal environment and attacked a human, people would see that as a normal reaction. Don't forget the lion didn't ask to be captured and given an enclosed area to live in.
Incidentally, my cat that you thought should have been put to sleep is absolutely thriving & his vet is astounded at how well he is. That is what people who love animals do for them!
