Ban the use of Snowmobiles to Pursue and Kill Wolves and Coyotes in Wyoming

The Issue

Recently, a horrific incident of animal cruelty took place in Wyoming.

A hunter in Daniel, Wyoming, allegedly tormented a wolf by pursuing it in a snowmobile, taping its mouth shut, and then bringing it to a local bar to 'show off'. The hunter later shot the wolf dead and was charged $250 for being in possession of a live wolf. This appalling and inhumane behavior should NEVER be tolerated, and torment or any sort of killing must be banned altogether.

This is not 'wildlife management'. It's animal cruelty and deserves a far harsher punishment. While killing wolves in Wyoming is legal, it is unethical and barbaric to put them in distress before doing so. Wolves aren't the only victims of this execrable sport. Coyotes suffer being run down by snowmobilers even more than wolves. If this practice is banned, it will greatly benefit wolves and coyotes. Sign the petition and ensure justice for wolves and coyotes!
