Target: Governor Mark Gordon, Wyoming
Goal: Strengthen Wyoming’s laws to protect all wildlife from cruelty and ban hunting with vehicles.
Recent images of an injured gray wolf in Sublette County, Wyoming, have ignited widespread fury across the globe. Allegedly, the wolf suffered at the hands of a local man who used a snowmobile to harm the animal before displaying it in a public bar and subsequently ending its life. This case highlights a severe gap in the state’s wildlife protection policies, as the current laws categorize wolves as predatory animals, thus excluding them from anti-cruelty protections.
Despite the Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s swift action to fine the individual a mere $250 for possession of live wildlife, the punishment falls short given the gravity of the act. Videos and images circulating on social media show the wolf in apparent distress, intensifying public demand for stricter legal repercussions against such barbaric acts. The current legal framework fails to reflect the ethical standards expected by both local and international communities.
The call for action is clear. Wyoming must revisit its wildlife protection laws to prevent such acts of cruelty and ensure that all animals are respected, regardless of their predatory status. Public sentiment is strongly against the archaic practices of hunting with vehicles, often seen as a brutal and unethical method to control wildlife populations. Enforce strengthened legislation not only to protect wildlife but also to preserve the ethical hunting culture that many in Wyoming uphold.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Governor Mark Gordon,
We are reaching out to you, compelled by the recent disturbing events in Sublette County involving a gray wolf. This animal was reportedly muzzled, displayed in a public setting, and killed after being struck by a snowmobile. Such apparent acts of cruelty cannot go unaddressed in our society. We urge you to take immediate action to reform the laws governing wildlife protection in Wyoming.
The global reaction to the images of the muzzled wolf is a clear indicator of the moral obligation we hold to protect these creatures from unnecessary and cruel treatment. The minimal fine imposed in this case does not correspond to the severity of the actions reportedly taken against the wolf, demonstrating a significant flaw in our state’s approach to wildlife management.
In conclusion, we demand a revision of Wyoming’s wildlife protection laws, specifically to outlaw the use of vehicles in hunting. Such practices do not align with ethical hunting standards and tarnish the reputation of our state’s wildlife management. We implore you to lead the change towards comprehensive legal protections for all wildlife, ensuring acts of cruelty are not only condemned but also prevented.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This was a pathetic example of “strength of a man.” This was an out right disgrace with the only example shown was ignorance and no kindness for animals which actually help us. If this jerk didn’t know that then he needs to go back to school and study science among other subjects. This creep showed no mercy, no compassion, as he just wanted to get his stupid face in the news. He did. Now I hope he will pay for it by serving time in prison. He deserves no less. When there are such poor examples of manhood I hope they will eliminate the word, mankind as it is as stupid as this man was shown to be. Karma says when you are this evil, you must pay for your sins by living the life exactly as your victim. Enjoy dying over and over the way you made this young wolf suffer and die.
The POS’s name is Cody Roberts. Don’t let him off with a slap on the wrist fine!
Cody Roberts ran down a very young female wolf on his snowmobile. Then he dragged her home and put her in a shock collar and tortured her with it, beat on her and taped her snout shut. Then he took her to his favorite bar where he and the bar patrons tormented and tortured the dying wolf and took pictures of the ‘fun’ so we can all see what despicable people they are, Cody especially. He is a sociopath; I would never let him near a child or any animal again. Hunting is one thing, deliberately torturing wildlife for fun is beyond sick and he should be in jail.
This jerk needs to be wiped off the face of earth!
Death penalty for bastard killer,S.O.B,coward!
Justice for wolf! +RIP
