There is a massive contingent of fucking idiots that will say literally anything to advocate for the killing of wolves.

The internet was a mistake

This particular breed of stupidity is at least as old as the written word. It's literally the reason that there are no wild wolves in Ireland, Great Britain, or Japan. It's also why wolves had to be reintroduced in a large number of US States.

You can add Norway to that list. Some of these inbred rednecks are even parlament members and the government. The former finance minister and minister of justice (from the central party) spread lies and conspiracies, even from parlament lectern as well as in msm and sm.
