I agree with your reasoning: something kills my family -- including its non-human members -- I will be upset. And I will kill to prevent the death of anyone in my family.
But I will not kill pre-emptively something or someone without malicious intent who might or might not end up hurting someone in somebody's family, maybe. If locating the animals is going to be a problem, fly out an animal control team with some radiotags or something so that you can tranquilize, tag and track. Hold off on the slaughter until injury or death is imminent.
