Why do you think that the farmers and ranchers of Australia hate Tasmania devils?
Australia does not have ranchers. This is an American term.
Farmers and other landowners in Australia do not hate the Tasmanian devil, as they are now better informed that this marsupial does not pose any real threat to their stock. Many years ago, however, the landowners believed that the Tasmanian devil (and its distant cousin, the Thylacine or Tasmanian tiger) were a threat to their livestock. They were concerned that these animals would kill off their stock. The Tasmanian devil did pose some threat to the farmers' poultry.
These people did not realise that Tasmanian devils prefer carrion and smaller, easy prey, and that they tend to occupy areas where there is a lot of undergrowth, rather than to venture out into the open agricultural areas.
They farmers also expected the behaviour of Tasmanian devils to be like that of foxes and wild dogs, which often involved indiscriminate killing. Tasmanian devils only killed what they needed to eat, and were far less of a threat than the introduced foxes, dogs and feral cats.

Where tectonic plates are converging and diverging with each other

King Island and Flinders Island, both off the north coast in Bass Strait, and Bruny Island off the south-east coast.
Are there any captive breeding programs for the Tasmanian Devil?
Yes, there are many captive breeding programs to help save the Tasmanian devil. Scientists are breeding Tasmanian Devils in captivity to limit the spread of the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD). This disease is a great threat to Tasmanian devils living in the wild, affecting some two-thirds of the population.
The Australian Government now has initiatives and programs set up to preserve the species. Tasmanian devils are being housed in captive breeding programmes, which should prevent the extinction of the marsupial, but not necessarily in the wild. There is a nation-wide Captive Breeding Program (CBP) called the 'Insurance Population' which is managed by the Zoological and Aquariums Association (ZAA) in coordination with the Tasmanian Governments 'Save the Tasmanian Devil Program' (STTDP).
