Why should the captured hero be more safe the more animals there are? Why is he treated as a Lost Soul?

Currently there's nothing to balance. Alexandrian Ship is better in every conceivable way by indefinitely holding the card rather than discarding it and allow the opponent to recur it, and there are already Sites that do this exact thing but better. Look at the cards that already exist that relate to this Bible story and find a way for the Den to interact with them, and you'll probably come up with a more unique, fun idea!

Then maybe start at these changes.  Identifier: hold x captured characters.  X=# of animals in play.  Special ability: If a character is held here for 3 turns, remove them from the game (or discard if Daniel is in play).  The main ability creates a situation where captured characters don't go to land of bondage, and they will not be recurable after removal, or if Daniel is in play they still have a chance to be rescued (or recured, like Daniel was).
