I'm not an expert, and I don't know if any of us are. It's a fact that for approx 200 yrs the wolf have have not been seen in the Norwegian woods. The farmers and those others living in the area claim that reintroducing the wolf into the fauna has created a new situation. A new carnivore is harvesting the farmers income and is thratening the peoples qualitiy of life.

From the farmes point of view the balance is upset by reintroducing the wolf. The wolf has been absent for approx 200 yrs, and the way of living is quite different nowadays.

What do you mean by lazy and selfish? What do you know about Norwegian farming? What is selfish about caring for ones lifestock?
Regarding the rest of your statement: Yes it is a shame that the Norwegian Government decided to kill the wolves, in particular the Alpha female astray from her pack. The reactions from the great majority is condemning this deed.
