I’ve gone on this rant before. The Circle of Life is an environmentalist death cult that rules the Pride Lands. The whole thing is further explored in the follow-up tv series.
It’s a planned economy enforced by a despotic dynasty. I mean, eating the antelopes is one thing, but forcing them to bow is a little much. But I guess that’s why it’s not called The Lion President.
When Scar took over he over-predated the herbivore community, which lead to plant overgrowth that choked the river upstream and destroyed downstream ecosystems. Mufasa and Simba knew that herbivores help maintain the landscape, so you can’t eat too many of them.
We’re seeing this in Russia where loss of grazing animals has damaged the permafrost and destroyed the steppe ecosystems. Reintroduction of grazers is helping to heal the landscape and resist global warming. The increased snow in summer reflects the sun’s light and counteracts the greenhouse effect.
