    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.

      My point here was for deer, deer in much of the US have no more natural predators. Hunters help fill that roll or else it’s disease, starvation, and cars that fill it.
