Not exactly sure what that means, but anything we do interferes with nature. Our meat eating massively interferes with nature.
If the idea is about saving that gazelle from getting attacked by lions by ensuring all wild carnivores are constantly feed so much artificial meat that they're too full to hunt, then that seems like a weird angle of attacking the problem of suffering. Because you can reduce both suffering and interference by firstly tackling factory farms where billions of animals are tortured and killed with industrial precision. In fact at this point the majority of mammals isn't even free and living in the wild anymore but they're in human captivity. And since we're going through a man-made mass extinction on a scale that the world hasn't seen in millions of years (Holocene extinction or Anthropocene extinction) these numbers are only going to get worse.
So, isn't that a bit of an alibi concern? We can worry about the edge cases and philosophical questions like 'should Komodo dragons be allowed to kill' once we've we've figured it out for ourselves.
