Does it have a use aside from killing things?

Sport, but even still there is a demand to kill things. I take it you never experienced a bear or coyote in your trash in the middle of nowhere. Tons of people in the U.S live in wilderness. A shotgun might be best against one animal, but a pack of animals would require something a bit more semi-automatic. 

Actually a rifle would do the job.  Once you kill one, I highly doubt the pack would be back at your resident.  Killing them all would just introduce another problem as the preditory are gone and the other wild life go crazy.
