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 fucked up that it takes this kind of outrage to get animal abuse charges against this guy. Laws exist in nearly every state that can bring felony charges for this kind of thing, but animal abusers are so rarely charged, let alone convicted.
