Hunting has replaced the natural cycle of predator/prey in controlling animals like whitetail deer. Having worked auto accident insurance claims made me aware of what hitting a 200 lb. deer at 65 mph can do to a car. And the passengers. I hunt coyotes twice a year. Invasive dog rats need thinned because the wolves aren't there to keep their numbers down.

They may not be able to afford to up and move; inner-city residents, who have the most need for protection, usually have little extra income. They're going to need a commute, too, for work and school, since they've move to safer environs.
Much easier said than done.
