The Claim
Trophy hunting of dominant male lions does not cause population-level infanticide from which lion populations cannot recover.
Evidence does not show that hunting-induced infanticide necessarily prevents lion populations from recovering. Populations can rebound when hunting pressure is reduced, and carefully enforced age restrictions can limit demographic damage. However, excessive or poorly managed removal of dominant males can increase infanticide, suppress recruitment, cause serious declines, and raise local-extirpation risk.
