Animals hunting other animals is a natural part of life.

Very few if any clean kills, infliction of immense suffering on creatures that have a cognitive capacity rivaling that of humans prior to robbing them of life, clear lack of necessity in the first place.
I dunno, seems kind of evil to me. This makes a good argument that the cruelty involved is undue:

Would you extend this to humans hunting humans?
By your own argument, there's certainly enough biodiverse human population to justify hunting. Hunting and eating humans has always been a natural part of life.
If God didn't mean for people to hunt and eat other people, they wouldn't be made of meat.
The only responsible way to "manage" whale populations is to let them repopulate for at least a hundred years, probably more. IIRC their populations are still way below pre-whaling levels, with some weird knock-on effects.
