This is one of those hard parts in conservation in many countries. In the UK particularly its very hard for people who grew up here to really consider the natural world as dangerous and life threatening.
We have pretty much no native fauna which will hunt/kill you in a deliberate fashion. Our largest being deer which are more likely to flee than fight and the only dangerous wildlife I'd say worth considering are the wild-boar; which are very restricted in habitat and distribution, and similarly very elusive.
As a result one forgets that in many countries; often with highly endangered animals, those endangered animals are not just a pest; but an active threat. How do we deal with the family who lost a child to a big-cat and wish to kill one or many of them in revenge whilst at the same time knowing that each individual lost to that species is a major blow to their population and viability (at least at a local if not global level).
It's a major consideration and one that is very hard to deal with as humans are increasingly pushing into wild areas and pushing the boundaries of habitation, which results in increased human-animal interaction and conflict.
