    If one animal species is harming an ecosystem then I don’t see how it’s morally wrong to limit their reproduction.

      Usually, a better way to help an ecosystem balance itself is to reintroduce predators or similarly.

      the deer population in yellowstone was destroying the soil, this was solved by reintroducing wolves.

      there’s a big difference between this, and f.ex castrating a lot of the deer, or going on a shooting spree.

      It also goes with the assumption that the ecosystem is either outside the moral spectrum, or morally good.
