If humans overhunted herbivores, the primary impact would be on the plant population within the ecosystem. Herbivores play a crucial role in controlling plant growth and maintaining biodiversity; without them, certain plant species could become overly dominant, leading to reduced plant diversity. This imbalance can further affect other species that rely on varied plant life for food and habitat, ultimately disrupting the entire ecosystem's health and functionality.

Why do you need lions?
They are preditors and every environment needs at least one---if not the populations of other animals would increase dramatically and then those animals would begin to over populate and they would die of starvation and diseases.
Can humans survive without animals?
Humans cannot live without animals, due to the fact that without animals, there would be no meat to eat. You need worms to help crops grow and animal droppings to fertilise land. Animals and humans are meat to co-exist together. Taking only what you need from nature :)
