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.

    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.

        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.
