I think what Art was saying

is that helping the livestock industry is another valid reason for predator hunting and predator control! Having read many of Art's previous posts, I don't think he was advocating the violation of local wildlife laws by taking predators illegally.

Another reason for predator control is protection of the other wildlife that we hunt (deer, turkey, rabbit, etc. etc.) If MAN doesn't control the 4 legged predator population they will extinct the "prey" species in short order. For example, in my area not too many people hunt coyotes. The coyote population has blossomed and we now have very few rabbits and not nearly the number of turkey we used to.

Twins:

Since you obviously have no appreciation for farmers/ranchers and feel they should handle this problem problem on their own, "like any other business"; perhaps you think retail business shouldn't solicit law enforcement and other honest citizens in the prevention of shoplifting.
