How about we eradicate all predators is Africa? What’s the difference?

That’s a silly analogy, apples & oranges.

It is called the predator hierarchy. Humans are at the top of the food chain. That is the “natural way.” And when the lesser predators threaten humans, humans should win.

The other side of it is humans can be stupid. For example, putting food out for a predator's prey or the predators themselves is just plain dumb. The predators lose their fear of humans because of it. So, lets scare the crap out of the predators, wolves etc. and make them terrified of humans... by whatever means. That may offer some measure of protection. However, when an animal is hungry and even starving, all bets are off.
