Wasn't it Larry Niven who came up wth an intersting variation: the Bandersnatchi, I think?
Yes, it is legal to hunt griffons: if you have a licence. Licences are issued by the griffons. It's their main source of income. And, as you say, griffons are tough. Of course, you're only allowed to hunt the adult males: and they quite enjoy the game.
