But to justify killing a predator (that is born to kill another animal to live, ie cougar, wolf, coyote, foxes, etc.) just to save a domesticated/farm animal, doesn't sound right to me.
It's the same reason farmers plow fields before they plant, cultivate fields while crops are growing, and till fallow fields: to remove competition for the resources. It's called "agriculture", and farms are "agri-businesses", i.e. businesses engaged in agriculture. As a business, they expect to make a profit each year so they can be in business next year. No profit = no reason to be in business.

Works the same way whether you are making computer games or making cars. No profit, and you are no longer in business.

Sheesh! And we wonder why we are losing the economic war . . .
