Theory : Gorilla enclave and the cursed lions

by now everyone thinks that the gorillas kill the lions when they get too old, and thats how they sell lion meat. But I dont. Let me tell you why.
In the gorilla enclave, you can buy lion meat. But the lion meat is brown, and it shows the leg. When they ask for lions, they have a marking requirement. Why have it in the first place if you don't need certain lions? The reason is simple: They don't kill them. They either

1. Set them free, and they become the lionesses in explore, and the males in explore. They live their live, and then die. Afterwards, the gorillas sell their meat in order to make money, and to expand the enclave. Especially during January, when times are tough.

or

2. Lion meat sells, but lions could sell for more... they just need work done. Sure, the average brown ones are killed, but the others with a sliver mane or a certain marking in a certain spot have a coding exploitation. They could be made into something that sells for higher. Like an applicator. But the first test runs they did weren't succesful. They turned into cursed lions. And you can even see them today. And thats why they are presented as cubs, and not adolescents or adults. They have nothing to prove they existed, because they are kept a secret. Here is the link to them:
