Thinking out loud… I wonder if it could still be true based on the fact that the larger the animal, the longer the gestation period. For small animals like rabbits, it’s about 30 days - so their chances of “multiplying like rabbits” is obvious - you’re not going to wipe out rabbits faster than the supply. As you move up the size scale, the gestation period gets longer and longer, and each kill gets harder to replace (wales come in at around 18 months!). Kill a mega-sloth and its chances of species survival dramatically drop!
