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.

    Working at a slaughter house isn’t the same as torturing animals for fun I can definitely see how slaughterhouses would attract that sort of person, but they’re still not the same thing.

    I’m not really trying to defend or argue against the factory farming industry. Just pointing out the false equivalency.

      But buying a burger is the same as torturing animals for fun. Meat isn’t fun for the slaughterhouse worker, it’s fun for the customer. And the customer is the one making the whole operation happen. All the money comes from the customers.
