Sounds like a metaphor for all things bein' tools and the value we attach.  

What do the lions represent ??

Answer: whatever you want or whatever it is that you see.

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

Or...uh...Oh, i see, i jus' re-read your post; the lions were us(the children) and when there was a genuine and respectful dialogue between them all was copecetic.  But where there was fear and no genuine and respectful dialogue there was oppression and violence.  But this is jus' what i see...

What??? boyo, you got some wacky weed there, or you are fuckin whacked. i was making a concrete - not high-falutin' metaphorical an' shit - reference to factual and observed animal behavior. i had been thinking about why Daniel didn't get eaten. did he know special big cat communication techniques? did he have a quantity of catnip or tranquilizer hidden on his person when he got thrown in with the lions? did he have friends on the outside who bribed the guards to feed the lions first?

it is said by some to not even be a historically factual story, although it is not an inconcievable possibility that such a thing could happen.

You got that right.  None the less the reason the story appeals to people is due to what it represents.  It doesn't matter whether the story is factully correct or not.  It is a metaphor.
