He’s not a hunter, he’s a snowmobiler. Those things need to be outlawed! 😁 Not a wolf hater or advocate but his behavior was just stupid. He’ll pay one way or another.

Back before the internet, a local coyote hunter shot a wolf and had it mounted. Since officially wolves don’t exist in SD, that couldn’t possibly happen. He had the wolf displayed in a local bar, until the feds got wind of it and confiscated it.

No wonder the caribou populations are dwindling in Alaska and Canada with the natives being allowed to run wild on snow mobiles and shoot whatever they wish.

They should have put the guy in jail for 30 days. Leave him in handcuffs, tape his mouth and introduce him to his new cell mates, Bubba, Jerome, and Bruce !!! Then put that online.

I am no expert on Wyoming laws but this would seem to apply.
(ii) Knowingly, and with intent to cause death or undue suffering, beats with cruelty, tortures, torments or mutilates an animal. (b) Felony cruelty to animals is a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than two (2) years, a fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), or both. Well you ARE correct about one thing, you're no expert on Wyoming law. The law you're quoting only applies to domesticated animals, aka "Pets" and does not apply in this case as Wolves are listed as Predators/Varmints. The wolf was captured in the "Predator" zone so there are no license violations, or such. The WG&F issued a citation for the only statute that they could against him, possession of a live wild animal. Bad move on this guy's part, absolutely. I'm sure he will pay dearly for his lapse in judgment. I recall a photograph that ran in a national publication many years ago of a man holding a live Coyote (with it's mouth tied shut) across his lap while setting on the stoop of a cabin in the West. He had taken it from a leghold trap on his trapline and brought it back alive. It was a much celebrated photograph.

It takes a special kind of stupid to hang ones self via social media and there should be something similar to a Darwin award for such. Some local kids a couple years back posted their attempts to ride a bleating mule deer they had wounded. Authorities were on their steps the following morning. I can't recall the details, but it was expensive.

He had taken it from a leghold trap on his trapline and brought it back alive. It was a much celebrated photograph. The law doesn’t specify domesticated animals. An animal in captivity (either a zoo or captured wildlife) will quite often be considered under animal cruelty laws. Look at the Wyoming law. It clearly differentiates between animals, household pets and livestock. So you can’t say wildlife isn’t protected. § 6-3-1002. Cruelty to animals (a) A person commits cruelty to animals if the person: (i) Knowingly overrides an animal or drives an animal when overloaded; (ii) Intentionally or knowingly, unnecessarily injures or beats an animal; (iii) Knowingly carries an animal in a manner that poses undue risk of injury or death; (iv) Has the charge and custody of any animal and under circumstances which manifest extreme indifference to the animal's safety, health or life: (A) Fails to provide it with proper food, drink or protection from the weather adequate for the species; (B) Abandons the animal. Relinquishment of an animal to a public or private animal shelter or like facility is not a violation of this subparagraph; (C) In the case of immediate, obvious, serious illness or injury to the animal, fails to provide the animal with appropriate care; or (D) Keeps any household pet in a manner that results in chronic or repeated serious physical harm to the household pet. (v) Owns, possesses, keeps or trains fowls or dogs with the intent to allow the dog or fowl to engage in an exhibition of fighting with another dog or fowl; (vi) For gain causes or allows any dog to fight with another dog or any fowl to fight with another fowl; (vii) Promotes any dog or fowl fighting; (viii) Knowingly permits any act prohibited under paragraphs (v) through (vii) of this subsection on any premises under the person's charge or control; or (ix) Shoots, poisons or otherwise intentionally acts to seriously injure or destroy any livestock or domesticated animal owned by another person while the animal is on property where the animal is authorized to be present.

F-you Hotrod. All fish are on a line. No comparison to torturing any animal. If true the guy should be held accountable and charged.

Sick MOFO, who's hate is badly misdirected.
Wolves do what Wolves do; the problem lies with the idiots who introduced them where they should not be.
MM ^^^^^. Give him a $250 and be done with the whole thing.

I doubt he really feels that way but even if he does your reaction cracked me up. But back to the original topic yeah that guy was an idiot, especially getting pictures. Ethics as far as running it down can be debated but keeping it alive rather than killing it when he got there is a whole other thing. His legal punishment will probably be outweighed by other lawsuits and reputation, especially being a business owner. May have a target on his back now from G&F and other law enforcement.

About as stupid as it gets as mentioned by others already.
No animal deserves that, first, especially when intentional.
Finally this behavior is the direct antithesis of being an ethical "sportsman", which in the end, gives all of us a black eye in the simple minds of the opposition!
At some level it is no different than irresponsible gun owners doing stupid/tragic things to innocent people and adversely affecting other "innocents" in the equation. Make an example of the perpetrators so others will at least think before doing something similar. Sadly though, there will ALWAYS be some "stupid"...
