I don't think getting people to ignore it would work.  It would just get angry and attack them and then feed off their pain.  However, getting potential victims away from it or luring it away from them could be effective.  The longer The Collective goes without feeding, the more difficult it is to hold its body together and heal its wounds.  

I'm not trying to be indignant, I just think that would jive better with how I've designed The Collective.
