Herd management.I don't care for sport hunting
If you're not going to eat an animal then why kill it?
If you're worried about herd management then you don't kill the predators.
The trouble with that reasoning is there is no way to control what a predator kills. Yes, deer have no natural predators in many areas. Yes, a predator would help control herd size in a perfect world. However, predators will take the easiest prey. If the choice is deer or people's pets, the pets will often lose. Between cattle and deer, the cattle are much easier to kill.
