Some people just do this for the thrill of watching something die a slow, painful death. Others, though, have a reason which seems just as idiotic, they want the wolves to stop hunting moose and caribou so that they could hunt them.
These people get in a slow, low flying aircraft and target a wolf. They do this in the winter so the wolves would be easier to track. They get close enough and a gunner shoots at the wolf. They do this until the wolf can't stand, then they land and shoot the wolf. It’s a very slow process and very painful to the wolf.
If you really stop to think about it, wolves are almost the same as us. They have the same characteristics. If we all keep things the way they are then these creatures will go extinct.
If you still aren't convinced then put yourself in a wolf's position. Imagine that you’re in a snow covered opening with hardly any trees in sight. Then you hear a strange motor sound. You start running away but the strange thing is catching up to you. Out of nowhere a loud sound hits your ears and you’re in agony. You still try to run thinking of your pack that you can't leave then the same sound comes. This continues again and again, most bullets miss but the ones that hit send pure agony through your body until you collapse. The creatures come forth and you are powerless to stop the final blow. So now think of it, do you want anything to suffer like that?
