“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.”

It's the same perspective that's been used throughout the US to justify culling historically, and is used to spearhead movements to reintroduce wolf populations. Luckily the US has been rather successful at reintroducing wolves, but it is very location specific due to the politics of it all.
