They can't help make more wolves if we keep killing them.

It does go against protections in place regaurding salmon. Here in western WA ESA salmon Issues affecting people's lives more than wolves. You cannot shut down people's building rights, Wells and such to protect a specific DNA marked salmon when others are present and expect to protect wolves that are cross breeds.

Then again it's not really about the science is it?
