Sorry for responding that late.
The Norwegian government decission of killing one family group was based on the fact that one of the family groups in a certain area was said to be too much habituaded, that is become too much familiar to humans, livestock and environment and by that lost their natural shyness and became a possible threath to human and livestock including dogs.
During the last 10 years it's reported that wolf has killed approx 110 dogs, some in the backyards of family property.
Four species of the family group was killed, one escaped and a another fifth wolf was killed by mistake. This wolf was shot outside the protected area of her pack. The local authorities are now applying for licence to shoot the remaining member of the pack of five.
