          They dont need to purchase a hunting license or restrict themselves to specific areas and times of the year though

            But they need to expend a considerable amount of time and effort to eat every single day. Time and effort is a form of payment, money is just a proxy.

              Actually lions specifically (i.e. the males, rather than lionesses, the females), often get to eat with minimal effort.

                Also they dont always eat everyday if food is scaece and often go 3 to 5 days without eating, sometimes if food is very scarce 8 days

            Yet, if they over hunt their food, they could kill off their entire species, which has happened to many species many times throughout the Earth’s history. We impose hunting restrictions because we’re smart enough to realize we could cause environmental collapse and kill ourselves if we don’t. That’s not because of any capitalistic or governmental greed.
