I don't know of any modern-day cattlemen who'd rather that lions, bears and wolves be extirpated. I don't know of any modern-day outdoorsmen who'd want those apex predators eliminated, either.
I take it you have not attended any grange, farm bureau or farm coop meetings in these modern times.
I've attended even worse during the past 35 years, or so. It's frustrating sometimes, trying to find balance from both sides of the natural resource management spectrum (non-consumptive and consumptive). The sad thing is that most Americans fall in the middle of the spectrum, but yet the two extreme ends of the spectrum seem to be the ones who continue to fan the flame of disparity.
