Not in a National Park
Living as a kid in Kenya some time ago;

Black Mamba decided it fancied our back garden - whacked over the head a few times with a polo stick. It _does_ taste a bit chickeny.

Going out in a jeep cross-country with rifles to kill some wild dogs on a friends ranch "cos you're better at staying upright over the bumps" from my dad.

The guinea-pig that accidentally fell off a concrete plinth onto a fencing stake (rapidly buried, hutch vandalised and 'rents told a hyena must have got it)

Innumerable termites in their nests dispatched with a gallon of petrol poured down the hole and a small molotov cocktail to set it all off,

Mind you, the wildlife did get its own back occasionally.

Peacock killed by a lion on the back lawn. 5m radius of feathers...

Burmese cats; male killed by something, female impregnated by a cerval.

Horse attacked by a leopard, had to be put down.

But we were definitely on the winning side once the food slaughter was taken into account.
