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.

    Of course, the first step is to accept that convincing people to be less evil, is more important than vanity and holding to the idea that you’re somehow better than them.

    Of course I believe that. I believe the best way to convince people not to kill is to shame killers. It’s nothing to do with my ego. It’s not hypocrisy to want there to be less death in the world, and accusing me of letting children drown or wanting to be superior is not only silly, it’s irrelevant to your own actions. It’s just a mechanism for you to process your shame. You know killing is bad and you want an excuse. You think if you can change the subject to my actions and how I’m not Literally Superman, then you won’t have to think about your actions. But tough nuts because we are not changing the subject. I proposed a truce. We won’t say your actions are wrong if you don’t kill animals. That way you don’t have to deal with mean words, and the animals don’t have to deal with murder. I daresay that approaches fairness. If you want to make the argument that mean words are incomparable to a life and the animals are getting a bloody good deal out of a truce, then yeah, I guess their lives are more important than your feelings, how bout that!

      I’m vegan and have been for years.

      Your moral pontificating may be good for your own ego, but at the end of the day Burger King’s vegan nuggets have done more to promote veganism, than lectures from the terminally online. Be honest with yourself. You’re not doing it to convert people. You’re doing it to feel good about yourself. Vanity. It’s the Devil’s favourite sin.

      You know how I convert people? I make them nice food and give them recipe tips.

        I agree. Burger King is an international business valued at 7 billion dollars with millions upon millions of dollars. I’m a regular person, and broke to boot. I’m never going to be able to do as much for veganism as Burger King, no matter how hard I try.
