You are right. Animals aren't the same as people. In some cases they are a higher life form. Like Mark Twain said: man is the only animal that blushes, or has a need to.
But if something was threatening my liveliehood then you bet I would defend it and them hunting the wolves that are killing the caribou and I can just about bet money that if they are killing caribou then they are also killing sheep and horses and cattle as well then in that case - it is the farmer/rancher's self defense.
