These wolves are not outsiders. They are native to Norway.

Brevik killed Norwegians, in opposition to immigration. He did not directly kill outsiders.

This is not a one-off event. The Norwegian government has done this before. From 2001, http://www.cbsnews.com/news/killing-wolves-in-norway/

> A Norwegian government team killed the fourth of nine wolves ordered felled in a hunt that has outraged conservationists and Swedish officials. ...

> Norway ordered the nine shot after complaints from local farmers of wolves killing livestock and pets, and wandering into farms and villages in a zone designated as wolf-free.

> Conservationists and Swedish officials have objected to the hunt, saying there are still so few wolves that killing nearly 10 percent of the stock is irresponsible.

A designated "wolf-free zone" is crazy, but the wolves should have read the signs.

You know, people get on the US for our dangerously-lax gun culture, but our concealed wolf crime rates are significantly below Northern Europe.
