The Wraith, as far as I can tell, are perfectly correct. They have to eat, or they die. What, exactly, do we expect them to do? Commit mass suicide because they can't go vegetarian?
Not, of course, that us defending ourselves is a bad thing, just that it's unfair to paint them as the bad guys when they don't seem to have much of a choice in the matter.
On the other hand, I'm a bit curious as to what they ate before humans wandered into their galaxy... maybe I missed something?

Then again, you can always download them. :)
Presumably there is other non-humanoid life that the Wraith fed on before the arrival of the Ancients in Pegasus. Similar to how the Goa'uld used Unas as hosts before they discovered humans.
In an Atlantis episode (which hasn't aired yet, but which I have watched through the magic of the Inter-net) we see a Wraith feeding on some glowing insecty life forms reminiscent of those in the season 4 SG-1 episode "Prodigy." There hasn't yet been any other on-screen evidence of what Wraith can feed on.
