Humans have sort of drove off a lot of the natural predators so the only other way to keep the populations down is for humans to go and hunt them (legally and hopefully for food).
Where I live they have recently reintroduced wolves to the wild. It has caused some tumult between local governments and the EPA about when enough is enough as far as population is concerned. I have heard that there is currently a campaign to reintroduce the Jaguar (cat not the car) to the South West.
