Sometimes when humans drive natural predators out of an area, the local praise species will increasing population to the point they risk starvation from overpopulation.
The proper way to deal with that is to restore the predator to the area and therefore the population balance, but a culling may be necessary in the interim to prevent suffering from overpopulation. It sucks, but sometimes it’s the right thing to do
One problem that can arise (due to us killing the predators) is overpopulation which can cause issues with an ecosystem
Which unfortunately puts us humans now in the position of needing to be their predators to make sure that their population doesn’t boom so hard it wrecks the ecosystem
So pretty much to keep the animal from from eating so much of their environment that other animals (including them) starve in large numbers or destroy entire areas we have to cull them
Ideally through hunting licenses (or something similar) so that way they don’t go to waste and also so that there’s less of a reliance on large scale animal farming
sigh. Animals are here WITH us, not FOR us. LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Sell tags, use the money to further protect the species. It works well when corruption doesn’t come into play.
