This is presenting it as much more black and white than it really is.

There is definitely a middle ground somewhere between "kill off any native carnivores that could possibly come near a multi-thousand-acre ranch" and "just let them kill the whole herd lol".

The article briefly mentions non-lethal methods and that they are underfunded. I worked with a grad student who was doing research (supported by the USDA IIRC) on different dog breeds for use as guard dogs. Ironically, sometimes the guard dogs will kill a calf — they assume due to boredom and playing too rough.
