Wyoming – A Wyoming man has been cited, and is receiving backlash on social media, for capturing a wolf he injured, taping its mouth closed, and then showing the animal off at a bar before killing it. According to sources, the disturbing situation happened on Feb. 29 in Sublette County.
Though killing a wolf is legal in the county, torturing a wolf is not. The man is accused of running a wolf down with a snowmobile, causing injuries. The man then transported the injured animal to his home, and then to a bar, where he showed it off before taking it out back and killing it.
According to the Wyoming Game & Fish Department the man was cited for a misdemeanor violation of Wyoming Game and Fish Commission regulations, Chapter 10, Importation and Possession of Live Warm-Blooded Wildlife.
The name of the man who is accused of torturing and killing the wolf has not been released publicly.
