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.
Sure, but I hope we can all agree that directly threatening this guy with death is not an acceptable response.
I don’t think anyone that enjoys torture in any form has a place in our society so I’m ok with it
No. People don’t live in enough fear of society anymore and it fucking shows by society literally falling apart before our eyes.
Do you think in a village of 10 this behavior would have stood? Fuck no. They would have either corrected the behavior early on or just cast him out of society to live alone and die alone.
Yeah, torture is a far better punishment.
Scum like him deserves permanent suffering, and any piece of trash defending him deserves at least a tenth as much.
It’s not about what he deserves, it’s about how we choose to punish him. He probably thought the wolf “deserved” torture. You want to stoop to his level?
Paradox of tolerance garbage doesn’t work, stop using fallacious reasoning. Fucking up a psycho who tortures animals doesn’t make you a worse person. Quite the opposite.
This has nothing to do with the paradox of tolerance.
I just don’t want any part of a justice system that includes “fucking up psychos” just because they’re assholes who probably deserve it.
Societies the world over moved past that type of revenge based / satisfaction owed justice system a few hundred years ago.
We killed all the Nazis.
Unfortunately no, but we absolutely should have.
No we didn’t. We were at war with them, and killed just enough of them to force their surrender. Thereafter the remainder were not rooted out and murdered, although many were tried for their crimes. Many fled and were more or less allowed to do so. Some were adopted by the US in operation paperclip.
Ugh? When and where?
Nope, I don’t agree.
ya we should actually just kill him
I admire your naivety about the reasonability of an average Lemmy user.
Yeah I didn’t realize this was the “pro death threat” community. I’ll see myself out before someone claims I’m defending a POS animal torturer.
You’re the voice of reason here. Don’t let the mob bully you away from what you know to be true and moral. Sometimes the majority are all wrong.
