      I can imagine, look at it like this.
      A group of three humans sit in a cargo freighter, dealing cards and passing time while customs checks and clears their cargo, so they can unload for the local markets and then load up with local goods to sell on their return trip. even if the atmosphere were generally calm, there was an air of tension so thick they you could probably cut it with a nano-scalpel.
      There was reported another death on the station, a Human death, murder to be precise. because of the stations rules and cultural differences of the galactic community in general, the killing of a species classified as prey was not seen as a jailable offence, as long as the killing was committed by a species classified as a predator, and that the killing was committed in the search for food. other than the normally heavy fine to be allotted to the relatives of the recently deceased the murderer usually got off more or less scot-free.
      And Tom hated it.
      He and he's friends wanted nothing more than to go to their armory, grab some weaponry, and repay the deaths in twofold if not more. but the stations rules did not allow for it. if they engaged the Vrrl in what local law would see as unprovoked assault, they could be charged with the local equivalent of first degree murder, and a number of other charges probably. Tom did not really care much for the local law, but he knew enough to know not to go out unless he's in a group of more than three people.
      Then the door to the hallway connecting the rest of the freighter opened, revealing their captain.
      "Lads, i have news."
      "Sup cap." said Daisy, looking up from her hand of cards along with the rest of their gang.
      "Ok everyone, pay attention, and i do mean EVERYONE! This concerns us all!" he called out to the cargo bay, calling attention to the twelve other cargo-hands mulling about. Another small group soon followed from behind the captain, the rest of the ships crew. The captain placed he's hands behind he's back and began to pace back an forth.
      "As im sure most of us have heard, though i shall endear to repeat, a crewman from another merchant ship have been killed. One Felix Mesinski, Twenty-two years of age, Terran standard. Father to two sons and one taughter, and husband to a now widowed Seris Mesinski." The captain said, clearly building for something. though this to Tom was not new, he had been keeping track of the killings since the first report had been made public. And had also kept eye on any missing persons notices.
      "But that's not why i come here, because as we all know, because i made it compulsory for you to know, we can't do fuck-all about it because of the local rules." This called fourth a few jeers from some of the crew, " But today that changes!" ...Dead quiet... If Tom was not paying attention before, Tom was very much paying attention now.
      "the Vrrl have been taken off the Herdgroup list." the caption said, malicious intent practically oozing from the statement. The crew was as a taught spring at this statement.
      "And im sure we know what this means. we can now do something about these sour loosers and local security won't do shit to stop it! so hear me!" he shouted, quieting the cries of excitement. "I called back home and called for early shore leave, and whether they approve or now does not matter. spend this time as you see fit, But anyone looking for a little overdue payback... come to the armory, im planning a local hunting trip." And with he's speech done, walked off back the door he came from.
      The cargo hold was quiet, a ghost could make more noise than this. but as if a flare had been thrown into a barrel of gasoline the hold erupted into action. people practically stampeding to reach the door to reach the armory. Tom and he's friends being among them.
      It was finally time for payback.

      Well, there’s that, but I don’t think they would much care if we...improvised. Of course, additionally it may act as an attraction for martial artist looking to prove themselves; to bag and tag Vrill associated with Human murders.
      Additionally, if they say hunt, then that opens up the other avenues for attack and dispersal, which could include blunt objects and Knives (Just use a kitchen knife as its both classic AND ergonomic) call it traditional hunting garb or some cultural symbology; as we hunt both with ranged and close quarters equipment. It doesn’t change the fact that Humans traditionally don’t hunt alone. Whereas these Vrill appear to not be pack hunters, or are singling out targets who do not beget their “Respect”.
      I think so long as we don’t hurt other Herdgroup members then we should be okay.

    *Slings bow over shoulder with malicious intent* “It is traditional, if humans hunt, for us to utilize ranged equipment or sharp implements. Is this allowed?” The security personnel look on nervously. However, Kelsor steps forward as the highest ranked personnel. The station’s rules were to be made clear, and the Humans were long overdue their recompense. “It is cultural?” He knew the answer, but wanted the rank and file to understand humans a bit better.
    The man’s smile was eerily calm, like he was talking about the weather on his home planet. “Oh just thought I’d come in when I heard about the hunt. I’d have asked to bring...less traditional weapons if you’d allowed, but I understand station integrity is a priority.” He sighs as puts the quiver in front of him to present the odd looking finned sticks. “These are Arrows, one of the oldest hunting implements my people devised, making them the traditional way would be ineffective on Big game, so these are titanium tipped and made with a carbon nanotube coat over a carbon fiber core. And this,” he presents the bow with little fan fair. “Is a modernized variant of the Bow, it is the method of propulsion. The tension from these strings acts to empower the Arrow, which then follow an azimuth depending on a number of factors until it impacts its target. One of the oldest forms of kinetic weaponry ever devised. Considering the fact that these are Apex predators, I figured it might be within my rights to...use something with some range to start. If this is permitted I’d like to do this little hunting trip to top off my trophy listing. I will sell the meat to some prospective buyers if this is required for it to be considered a hunt.” He then relaxes slightly. “If not I’ll use my trusty Bowie Knife, it’s good for gutting, but I unfortunately don’t enjoy using it up close all the time...but if the hunt requires it I will.” He smiles in a somewhat more...the translator provides _sadistic_ intent. “I’d like to repay them for what they did to the girl that prompted this open season.”
    Kelsor had hoped the martial artist’s demonstration alone had been enough to prove to the other species not to mess with the humans.
    It had unfortunately not dissuaded the Vrill. But he had kept to his ruling, and when they had pounced on the opportunity to hunt a small girl, it had been met with a formal diplomatic complaint from the Terran embassy and a rapid phone call to his commander back on his own home-world. He stated that the Vrill had paid their fine, but that he wished to uphold his ruling. The Precinct commander had agreed, and sent an official document stating that the Vrill on this station were to be taken off the Herdgroup list. Which was met with a Vrill diplomatic objection, although it did little good now.
    And he was fairly nervous about that.
    Because as soon as the order had gone out on Intergalactic news; it had sparked a massive surge in human vessels showing up to the station. Martial Artists, Hunters (like this gentleman), Ex-Terran Soldiers, Terran Trade ships, and a few Humans he hadn’t immediately recognized until he did some digging...family members who’d lost loved ones to the Vrill at both stations like his own, and this station. It had turned into a full on Galactic political incident in the making and he wasn’t sure what to do.
    On the one hand, the Vrill needed to learn not to hunt Terrans on any station. While registered as a prey species on the Galactic forum, the Terrans were terrifying hunters. On the other, the Terrans might massacre the entire Vrill population on this station...and possibly start a war.
    Not that the Terrans appear to mind.
    He’d done some reading on the Gal-net and found that the Terrans had a direct border into Vrill space, and by extension they had been having disputes on mineral and space lane rights along that border. Further exacerbated by the targeted hunting across the Galaxy.
    He hadn’t expected the Terrans to send a Cruiser to the system to defend the port, nor a small diplomatic envoy to discuss the exact requirements and limitations humans would have in their hunt. He’d forbade extensively the use of firearms or laz weapons. Extensive damage to the station would not be tolerated in any manner, and his diplomats had made them assure that no one on the Herdgroup listing outside the Vrill would be targeted. Otherwise, everything else was fair game.
    “This weapon is acceptable, as it shouldn’t pierce the station hull. Thank you for your business, if you’re not exclusively here to hunt, there are plenty of stalls on the trade floor that may hold your interest in ‘Exotic’ game.” He shrugged a bit, as the man put his quiver back on his shoulders and moved to walk onward. “Thanks mate, I betcha ther’s plenty of noice game to check out. I might go huntin’ planet side if it turns out I haven’t hunted some of em.” The Terran moved off in a burst of movement and was gone, likely to find a place to set up shop.
    Many had also booked rooms and he could see some across from the checkpoint relaxing at a local beverage shop. Eyes calculating and long bladed weapons at their sides. He believed the Terrans called them Short Swords or Bowie knives.
    He knew one thing...this was going to get brutal.

      The Vrill had been stalking the child for hours, the giggling grinning prey seemingly oblivious to its danger as it ran squealing in delight. Like some kind of arborine its upper appendages leapt from railing to railing, making wild adjustments to its velocity that the Vrill had to compensate for with multiple landings and pounces. The crowd was thinning out now and the prey was cornered. Now there was nowhere to run and plenty of room to fight. But the child had claimed a ballast stone, and produced a strip of tanned hide. Did it intend to try to leash or garrote the Vrill? No, it set the stone inside a wider strip in the center of the hide and took both ends in one hand. The child swung it experimentally at first. A makeshift flail. No matter. The Vrill would simply cut through the strap if swung at. But the child was still swinging it, and now the stone and strip of leather were whistling as they carved a taut circle through the air, blurred into near invisibility. The Vrill's ears twitched and signaled some primal danger of the unknown that the Vrill refused to acknowledge. The prey had not moved and its position was now one where it could not dodge quickly. It was time for the charge. The Vrill lowered and aimed for its final pounce. The child released one end of the hide strip and

All other predators (except for predator scavengers like hyenas) have instincts that make them avoid humans.

If you don't want to kill them directly, just chase them until they die from exhaustion/overheating. Since how it was described in the story, that shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours at most.

He then proceeded to eat the bear with its own teeth.
