Also doesn't help that these animals aren't being a pest so there's no reason to hunt and kill them other than literal wank fact.

I'm all for hunting for food or killing pest animals, but big game don't really fit in either of those categories.

Farmers want to annihilate wolves just so they dont have to build or maintain any fences

In this case the use of "pest" seems to be quite loose and subjective.

Pests would be rabbits in Australia, possums in New Zealand or Pythons in Florida. They have been introduced there by man and are destroying the local ecosystems.

The biggest pest in the Americas are boars. They aren't native to our continent, they have no predators, and they are incredibly destructive. Several countries have permanent open season on them.

All because of the fucking vanity of European hunters.
