No, not everywhere.

And its not a smooth food chain. Mass starvations occur. There was some distressing footage the yera before last of thousands of kangaroos bouncing into huge fences while trying to get to water in a drought. Many of them died, but the kangaroo is in no danger of extinction because of it. You don't need hunters when the system takes care of itself.
The thing you don't realize is that in a rural area, when starvation occurs the animals move in closer to human habitats. They begin to become a danger to people by running out in front of cars on country roads. The closer they get to human areas, the more dangers they pose to humans.
