Not really. Killing things unnecessarily or for the thrill of it is also the way of nature. A predator won't pass up easy prey generally, regardless of whether it is satiated.
If you eat meat either you can hunt the prey like you would in nature, or you can sit on your couch and watch tv while someone else butchers an animal for you. For some reason the former sounds more ethical to me.
I have never heard of animals killing for fun aka sport. That is the way of humans. Animals kill for food and to protect themselves, their babies, and their pack or whatever they travel in.
Once again I have never heard of an animal killing for fun.
It's not fun - it's instinct. Have you ever seen a cat chase a toy? He know's it's not the same as the food in his dish, but he can't resist chasing and subduing it. Same with wild predators.
