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.

      The right punishment for animal cruelty isn’t death. Sending death threats is also not acceptable, there are ways to complain without becoming a criminal yourself.

        True - the right punishment for animal cruelty is permanent torture, both physical and psychological.

          I don’t belive in that shit. No human or animal deserves torture. Human rights apply to bad humans too, even murders deserve to get a second chance after a long rehabilitation program

      Great, what is achieved by that. Are you getting the fish and wildlife game to legislate new laws ? Maybe harassing them to quit so they don’t enforce anything? Or just openly committing enough of a crime that they can arrest you instead with zero fucking thing achieved?
