Destroy the lion while he is yet but a whelp

proverb meaning

eliminate a potential threat or problem while it is still small and manageable, before it grows into something much larger and more dangerous. In a literal sense, a "whelp" refers to a young offspring of a carnivorous mammal, such as a lion. When the lion is still a whelp, it is relatively weak and vulnerable compared to when it grows into a full-grown adult. Metaphorically, the phrase suggests taking action against a problem or a threat at its earliest stages, when it is still manageable and before it grows into a significant challenge or danger. It emphasizes the importance of addressing issues proactively rather than waiting until they become more difficult to handle.
