1. save them
2. no. they should try to trap them humanely and reset them free somewhere else. they lived here before us, we need to deal.
3. People shouldn't, but they do. There are many conservation groups that visit places where this happens and tries to educate the locals so that they don't do it, and instead do something else that doesn't kill the animals.
4. Endangered animals should never be killed for money. If a farmer is protecting his stock, it would depend on where they live. Since I live in the US, I can tell you that killing an endangered animal attacking my stock would be my very last resort. Here, we have a government agency, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, that will assist us in dealing with predators that attack our stock. They can trap and relocate predators to areas where they will not be a threat to anyone's stock. They can educate us in techniques and methods that make our stock safer from predators. As a last resort, they will issue a permit to us to kill the offending predator, but this is not normally necessary, if people use their common sense and follow the guidelines set for safeguarding livestock. However, in many other, poor countries, people do not have all of the resources we have here (like electric fencing, for example); nor do they have the support of government agencies who can help them learn better methods to safeguard their stock. If I lived on one of those countries, I would probably kill any animal, endangered or not, that threatened my stock, since that would be threatening myself and my family with starvation.
5. They should not kill them in either case.
6. Endangered animals should not be killed for either reason.
