“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.”

We leave the territory to the wolves or we take it. Top predators do not coexist (?)

Even ignoring the ethics fallacy, you're also wrong from an ecological perspective.

Bears and wolves exist stably in the same territory and frequently interact, competing for the same prey. So do lions and leopards. Polar bears and orcas as well, though to a lesser extent.

You are right ...it's more of a personal preference : don't want to coexist (up close) with a feral predator, which happened to be in a bad mood that day ! A bit off topic, i know.
