wolves shot from the air to protect caribou.

wolves eat people so that makes them fair game in my book

if the caribou grew out of control, the alaskans would be importing wolves

Wolves avoid people when possible. It's only when they are forced out of their environment or in a fight/flight situation that they attack humans.

However there is the exception to every rule.

As an interesting note; we have open Boar/Hog season here in Texas because they are a big problem to crops and the land and other animals. Maybe people hunt wolves in Alaska for similar reasons? But I'm not sure how the wolf population effects the wildlife, crops or society up there so I can't choose an opinion one way or another.
