“Its a horrific situation,” said Siri Martinsen, chief executive of Noah, an animal rights group that is challenging Norway’s wolf hunts in its courts. “Norway’s wolf management is out of control and they are just shooting wolves because some people don’t like them. It is outrageous to hold a species at a critically endangered level.”

This is what happens when people buy into the logical fallacy that humans are rightfully above all other animals. There are ways of managing wolves without killing them, always have. Not to mention that ecologists all agree that native large predators are really important for the health of natural ecosystems, and much more ecological damage and as a result economic loss occurs when you eliminate them.
