Conservationists are concerned that the killing of the 13-year-old big cat may leave as many as a dozen cubs vulnerable to infanticide by males that assume leadership of his prides.

nah, mom lions often do care

if they think they can manage to defend the cubs long enough they will, or if they think it's worth the risk they'll leave the pride with their cubs

but often they choose to just let the cubs go, that it's not worth the personal risk

depends on the individual lioness, how many of their relatives they can depend on to help them, circumstances, etc
