Aye, he seems to essentially be the leader of all Big Jaws because of his history of keeping the plains relatively safe. You can't play favorites if you believe someone is a danger, heck with how Beckon mentions exile being a "light" sentence it seems more likely that Big Jaws like Heart would have typically been killed or injured severely based on their actions. Baku has killed threats to the plains in the past, such as the Longnecks from the south.

In fairness we majorly see this world through Heart't eyes, not the typical Big Jaws. Essentially Heart ran up to a pack he has been harrassing for years and beat them near to death over a morsal of food in their eyes. They had no idea of Umasou's relationship with Heart until this point, so Baku didn't have much of a choice as a leader. He could not let a threat stay on this territory, but he could let him at least live through exile.
