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.
Yellowstone is a federal park that has federal rules protecting them.
States can bitch and moan all they want but there is a massive reserve dedicated to keeping them alive and their population in that reserve is not at any risk of going extinct.
By your logic (IE they could be killed off) - everything is always in danger of going extinct because not immortal and omnipotent creatures outside of the realm of human influence.
