He wasn't comparing animal life to cancer. He was comparing humans' approach to nature with humans' approach to cancer: Kill it!

The only reason they're overbreeding is because humans have destroyed their natural habitat and predators.
It is the fault of humans that the natural balance has been disrupted.

You remove them from the food chain, and the deer populations swell so large that there isnt enough food around for them all. Underweight and small bones becomes the norm, diseases spread like wildfire because the population densities can soar to four or five times what is considered ideal, etc. Participating in wildlife management is beneficial for the herds, to borrow your phrase, it could be compassion for animals.
Humans have created this mess, then their only solution is to regress to filling the role of the 2D carnivorous animals they have displaced?

Do you think dogs and cats are sentient?

Because you've managed to escape their detection. That's not what I meant. I meant, if the deer realizes s/he is about to be killed, does s/he willing offer him/herself up to be 'harvested'? Or does s/he attempt to escape?
