        What you're saying simply does not hold empirical water. 
Predators always "go for it".  They don't get it and they die.  Except for
parasites, non-human predators, even pack predators, are opportunistic. If
they don't get an opportunity, they're finished.  Mustelids, for example
feed constantly, voraciously and even wastefully, but they don't kill off
their prey species because they can't.  Actually the only animals who come
close to eating all their own "seed corn" are grazing herbivors who have
the demonstrated ability to create desertification in arid climates.



        All this has no bearing on economics as far as I can see.
