Target: Bridget Hill, Wyoming Attorney General
Goal: Prosecute and enforce strictest penalties for individual who apparently harmed a juvenile wolf with a snowmobile
A juvenile wolf was reportedly run over with a snowmobile before being publicly displayed while still wounded. Disturbing accounts indicate this terrified animal was apparently paraded around in a bar, suggesting a shocking disregard for its pain and suffering. Authorities initially issued only a minor fine for illegal possession, raising concern about the apparent lack of consequences for the severe harm allegedly inflicted on a wild creature.
Despite this incident’s alarming nature, the investigation into whether felony animal cruelty charges should apply has dragged on for over a year. Observers fear that extended delays or insufficient legal action could send a troubling message that such apparent torment of wildlife will be tolerated. Meanwhile, the injured wolf’s apparent suffering underscores a broader issue: vulnerable animals may remain at risk if the legal system does not respond decisively to reported acts of cruelty.
A swift, decisive legal response is essential to ensure this alleged offense is neither swept aside nor repeated. Seeking the maximum allowable penalties under the law would send a clear signal that no one can mistreat animals without facing meaningful repercussions. Sign below and demand that prosecutors do everything in their power to uphold justice for this wolf and uphold protections for all wildlife.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Attorney General Hill,
We, the undersigned, write to express our alarm regarding a case in which a juvenile wolf was allegedly struck by a snowmobile and then displayed, still wounded, in a public setting. This seemingly disturbing scenario has caused widespread outrage, particularly given the lack of meaningful punitive measures despite the serious nature of the accusations.
Though a minor fine was originally issued for possessing the wolf, the evidence suggests that far more serious acts of cruelty took place. If such apparently brutal and deliberate harm is allowed to go largely unpunished, it sets a dangerous precedent that endangers other vulnerable animals in the future.
We implore you to finalize the investigation promptly and, if warranted by the facts, seek the most stringent penalties possible. Doing so will show that these alleged acts have no place in a society that values the well-being of its wildlife.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
