Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr has received more than 7,000 emails about a Wyoming man who reportedly captured and tormented a wolf before killing it, he told Cowboy State Daily on Wednesday.

Some of those are threats.

Lehr said people in his office, as well as Sublette County and Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel, have been receiving threats — including death threats — stemming from Daniel, Wyoming, man Cody Roberts’ reported capture, torment and killing of a wild wolf in late February.

    I don’t get people who take, like, joy in torturing or killing animals in this way. It seems supremely fucked up to me. And I hunt.

      It’s fucked up to you because it’s fucked up. People who torture animals make me change my position in torture.

      Anyone torturing animals should be subjected to torture himself. Fucking piece of shit.

      You’re probably struggling to see their perspective because you aren’t a psychopath. If you were a budding serial killer working your way up to torturing humans I bet it makes perfect sense.

      It can be a lot of things, none which make sense to normal people. My guess is it’s mostly a power thing. This guy felt big and strong and intimidating for a moment of his life and he wanted to bask in it.

      Because he knows, just like the rest of us do now, that he’s really just a sad, scared piece of shit that would piss his own pants and cry like a baby the minute someone his own size decided to pick on him.

      In fact, I bet his pants are filling up with piss knowing that he’s a national news story and people want him dead for his behavior. I just hope he doesn’t have another victim to take his frustration and fear out on. Unless he wants to make that victim himself.
