Problem is, that one can't allow endless hunting or poisoning that wiped out the Buffalo almost. Being that massive areas of the US are populated, one can't just go wild and use poison, go shooting, etc. (look at deer hunting in populated areas, they're trying to use Bow and Arrow techniques, but too small of an effort, and some such efforts still failed to reduce targeted populations). We also can't rely on native predators to prey on feral populations, they're gone for the most part.
The powers that be just allowed hunting of the massive snakes (pythons) invading Florida finally (several weeks ago). I did think
that FL had an annual rally / contest to capture these snakes too, but these efforts will be way too late if you ask me.
Politics often times is way too late to stop an invasion of sorts, look at Australia's Rabbit/Mice/Cane Toad invasions, look at the invasion of Ants, Armadillos, and Killer bees in the southern part of the US...we can't even effectively manage our fisheries and keep illegal fishing suppressed so fishing stocks can recover. Quite a few of them (fishing grounds) are gone. All due to illegal human fishing.
