So starvation to control the population instead of hunting, got ya. What if the predators prey is plants? More predators => less plants => less predators => more plants?
Not sure if you are serious here. The definition of predation is killing and eating other animals. An organism eating plants is prey and its population gets controlled by predation.

A.K.A. The way nature works… for hundreds of millions of years? Yes. Exactly that.
If the carrying capacity of an ecosystem can’t support more predators, you don’t get more predators. The balance that nature has perfected always seems to be disrupted by humans looking to “control the population”.

Again, a balance that simply works without us interfering. When animals (and plants) are left to their own devices, they thrive. The only time this doesn’t happen is when humans get in the way.
Right, deer in the populated areas of north America have no preditors any more. So that population needs to be controlled. In the city and county i live in there are bow hunting programs in the parks since there aren’t many places you could hunt otherwise. If not disease and cars are what would control it. Thats led then ideal. Plus if you don’t want the meat there are programs to donate it to shelters.
