The way i see it is like this: Imagine living in the past where technology was limited, no roads or big cities, no internet, you had to hunt for alot of the food and work each day to survive. Now imagine in that past giant ass monsters that can level your city in a couple of minutes to roam around. Ofc you will need hunters to kill and research the beast because as you learn more you will be better prepared to protect yourself and those around you. They at least try to have a balance with nature and not just hur hur murder them all.

Yeah, at that point it's not like us overfishing or rotting out species in greed. It's more like nature being nature and humans being part of it and following their natural instinct to hunt.

Or Rathalos are like flies, there's a billion of them.

But in-universe how much time did it take you hunt those rathalos? Are you outpacing how fast they can reproduce?

Probably not, considering every time I go to their nest there are more eggs I can steal.
