"illegally killing wolves" probably loosely translates as "killing dangerous predators in our back yard, like humans have done since they began walking"
Being a native newyorker I can assure you that there are a good few million people in NYC area who believe it's better for humans to be eaten/killed by wolves/mtn lions rather than kill them first. .... As long as it's those dangerous red necks that are being killed - not good peace loving socialist prison state mongers like them.
