It is protected because of us killing them, not direct evolution.
We also live in a society where we have it so good that we don't need to eat wild animals. Not that some of them don't taste pretty amazing, but at one time this was done for the purposes of survival. For the fact that if we didn't, we might not be feeding our family that night. This isn't the case anymore.
P.S. - If there was any meat we don't eat down here that we should eat, it's seal meat, just like the inuit. The nutritional profile of seal meat is better than any meat we actually eat, and with seals being over-populated and killing other species, I'm all for it.

Lions are Vulneralbe, not endagered mainly due to habitat loss, These games farms actually help to perserve the Lion populations by preserving acres of land and ensuring that the hunt is managed in a sustainable way. If this is a game farm think of it as a farmed grass fed cow that you go shoot with an arrow if it makes you feel better.
Lions are Vulneralble not endangered which my understanding means they are not a protected species. Same thing Harper did with the whales.
Its a psychological thing that a lion is a beautiful fury animal and not a cow or a deer but really if done in a sustainable manner there is no difference.
