OK who is gonna open the door to the trap?

That cat is probably only in there for transport, and was dumped in, asleep.

Lions are highly resistant to eating carrion they didn't kill and cache themselves, this makes cage trapping them extremely unlikely.
They say there's about a thousand cage nights in catching a coyote in a cage (one cage for a thousand nights, or a thousand for one night, etc), and that lions are ten times that hard to catch... you do the math.

Besides with it already IN THE TRAP... why tranquilize it?

That big, and that stout of a frame, that's more apt to be a beaver trap than a bobcat trap.
