I don't know if we are allowed to hunt them with hounds but I know of a few farmers that bagged some pretty big kitties that were eating their cattle and stuff. They are a bit destructive, at least to house pets, children and livestock. I don't believe in hound hunting tho, I think it's a little cruel but on the other hand I agree that the unintended impacts also needed mitigation since there is no controls on who gets trapped.
