Sure - but don't you think it is strange that in so huge country like Norway there are only 25 wolves and there are already problems with them? There must be something wrong....
We had also similar cases here and there are some wolves killed which were not affraid of people. But (almost) always people were guilty for it:
- sometimes because they took puppies from the burrows and left them in forest when the wolves were adult
- sometimes there was not enough food in the forest
- sometimes people "domesticated" wolves so they were no more affraid
- but in the most cases the people just say the wolves are dangerous simply because they hate them (don't forget wolves are the biggest competitors for hunters and...poachers and danger for unprotected herd).
