Come on, Simba, feed those cubs, feed them to yourself and infanticide be damned, you’ll remain king of the jungle for long enough that at some point you will be wishing for death, but it won’t come at the hands of another, or at the hands of age, it’ll come at the hands of creation, you will fertilize the land with your corpse.
