    Sometimes when humans drive natural predators out of an area, the local prey species will increase in 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

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