both of them were alive but by the end both died ... Anyway, I don't think that the lion got friends, family or someone who really would miss him ...

Sorry, but the human's life can't be compared with the animals life ... The humans want to get money and that is their business, the lion wanted to bite and eat or maybe take revenge for something and that is his own business ...

Can't blame both ...

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)
