Why is it wrong? Is it wrong for a Lion to eat a Gazelle? Or was it wrong for the Sperm Whales of Madagascar to kill all the dodo birds? Should we force Lions to eat grass in Africa?

Of course it is not wrong.

Please don't try to compare animal morality to human morality. Using that logic, people would be free to walk around naked, shit in public, kill others for stepping on our territory, etc.

he is just laying out the food chain.  There is a natural order to the world, and like it or not humans rest at the top.  Our biology is adaptive to both meat and vegetarian diets.  

So, if somebody asks if meat-eating is wrong, my immediate reaction is no.  We rest at the top of the food chain so we have earned the right to CHOOSE what it is we can eat.
