Will never understand this kind of cruelty. That man is not a hunter! Most hunters I know have a respect for the animals they hunt. This shows the man's black heart and soul.

And, it is legal in Wyoming to run down predators with snowmobiles until they’re too exhausted to run any longer…then they can be tortured and killed. Wyoming says the manner of “dispatch” is up to the person running the animal down. There is too much wrong with this to even cope with it. There’s a petition asking for Cody Roberts to be charged with a felony on change.org. This case has kept me awake this whole week. I want this MFer charged….and internationally shamed. Wyoming has a problem.

The Change.org petition was started only a week ago and already has over 12,000 signatures.

(I checked and couldn't determine how many signatures the Lady Freethinker Petition has)

I've worked with wolf restoration projects in Minnesota most of my adult life. I also come from a family that hunts. My grandfather taught us to hunt, starting with teaching us respect for the animals and the natural world. We were taught to hunt only what we would eat. This story made me sick to my stomach on so many levels! Thanks for the info on change.org. I'm heading there next.

but there's little that enrages me more than deliberately, senselessy hurting an animal...just reading about it literally sets my teeth on edge.

(They're hoping to get 25,000 signatures)

If you haven't already signed this petition, please consider doing so.
This human piece of vermin needs to be held accountable for what he did to that poor, innocent pup.
