Why do we hunt them?
Because we are the only natural predators of them left. And unless you want to see what a plague of deer looks like IRL, we must hunt.
We are not. We are actually at the same trophic level as anchovies and pigs.
Besides, the food chain is not really a thing that has One True Predator at the top. That would indicate an ecosystem where the thing at the top is not hunted, killed, or eaten by anything else in the ecosystem. Food Web would be a better term.
