Of course, the perfect solution to the problem is to have all these wonderful critters infest the areas where all the anti-hunters are. After several months of varmints going through their garbage or wrecking their gardens, many of them would be buying traps or weaponry. In short, they’d change their minds about the “evil” of hunting.

Where this is a problem in suburbia, antihunters still refuse to allow hired hunters to cull the deer which are causing all the damage, much less bears (dangerous to humans) or racoons (carry rabies). It’s a mindset that truly thinks humans do not outrank animals.
When a woman hiking in California was attacked & killed by a mountain lion, the majority opinion was that she shouldn’t have been invading the predator’s territory. No sense of her tragic death whatsoever. Again, a mindset.
Only a few ventured to suggest that she shouldn’t have been out hiking without packing some form of lion medicine like a large caliber handgun.
