The old solution was to hunt them to extinction. That’s what happened to the really dangerous big cats* in Europe and North America. Yes, tree huggers love to virtue signal by fulminating against large predator extinctions in other regions. I have to wonder how they’d feel if those other regions exported their large predators into the tree huggers’ immediate vicinity.

* The really big cats look at humans and see puny and slow prey. But humans are capable of using standoff weapons, traps, poisoned bait and tools like spears, shields and swords. So it was really no contest, even during caveman days.
Perhaps not. But it was very exciting times right up to the Industrial Revolution!
