You also have to remember that Lion-O has other important priorities like the stones and building alliances. Building an alliance with the Dogs for his army was a bigger priority to Panthro's mind. Plus he knew somethings about the town and Pit that the others didn't.
Not being completely outnumbered in the Dogs' town was probably foremost on Panthro's mind. He spoke up because he knew the town, and yes, because making an enemy of the town's leader was probably a bad idea.
But Cheetara and Tygra stayed silent, which is unusual. Cheetara even told Panthro to stay out of it. Maybe they were as angry about a cat being held as a slave, but I think it's more likely they're learning to let Lion-O make the decisions. As evidenced by Tygra's brief stint as King, Lion-O does usually end up making decisions that work out. But more importantly, Lion-O is King. At the end of the day, how they handle things like this is ultimately up to him. For better or worse.
There's nothing wrong with offering an opinion, but they can't fight every decision he makes, much as they have been. Lion-O needs to make his own decisions.

Actually, Lion-O was King during the fall. He was made King right before they escaped and a whole day hasn't passed since the attack.
If Lion-O doesn't want to get blamed for falling short the expectations and duties the people expect of the King, then he should stop being one.
I believe he was King from the moment Claudus died, if only in name. It's no surprise that he's being blamed for not doing anything...the other cats have no idea what he's been up to, but a King's responsibility to look out for his people. So what if he really couldn't do anything, if he was still on the run himself? We criticize politicians' decisions, regardless of how much we know about what's really going on. It's natural to blame the guy in charge.
Some of his people probably blame him for the fall of Thundara in the first place. Remember, he advocated setting the lizards free, right before they attacked. Most may not know about Grune's betrayal, unless he was helping round up the slaves.

Lion-O and the Dogs will join up. Panthro is buddies with Dobo. There will some pressure or persuasion to end slavery there.
The lizards in episode one explicitly said that they were captured as slaves.
Fighting in the Coliseum in Rome was considered an honour, wasn't it? They could keep the coliseum running, if only on a 'hey, you want to fight? Go for it' basis.
But maybe they'll come up with some new forms of entertainment once the Cats no longer have the lion's share (couldn't resist, I'm sorry) of the resources.
