      They can capture it and keep it, if possible, but that is difficult, expensive, and not always available.

      There is a recent popular book on it, Fuzz: When Animals Break the Law, by Mary Roach. She goes into the challenges facing human animal interaction. There's a lot to it, much of it unfortunately bad for the animals.

      I've been reading Mary Roach's new book (Fuzz) that has an interesting chapter on monkeys in India. Because macaques are afraid of langurs, some people would tie up langurs outside their houses for security. This was eventually deemed inhumane but it probably still happens in wealthy enclaves. Nowadays the Parliament building is protected by 40 humans who imitate langurs.
