Take Action: Urge Wyoming to Ban the Use of Snowmobiles and Other Motorized Vehicles to Chase Down and Kill Wolves
A Wyoming hunter has been cited after chasing and injuring a wolf on his snowmobile, taping their mouth shut, bringing them to his home and a bar, before killing them. It’s time to ban the use of snowmobiles and motorized vehicles to chase and kill wolves.
Wolf killing in Wyoming isn’t ethical hunting or necessary “wildlife management” – it’s animal cruelty and should be punished as such. Take action now against this cruel form of hunting.

Ban the use of Snowmobiles and Other Vehicles to Chase Down and Kill Wolves
Dear [Decision Maker],
Thank you for acknowledging that cruelty to any wildlife is unacceptable, and denouncing the brutal torture and killing of the young wolf.
I am reaching out to urge you to ban the use of snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles including aircraft, automotive vehicles, trailers, motor-propelled wheeled vehicles, or other vehicles designed for travel over snow for the purposes of chasing down and killing wolves in the state of Wyoming.
Wildlife policies that legalize and liberalize the cruel killing of native predators only breed further vitriol and hatred towards these animals; they don’t accomplish any management goals.
*Personalize your message
This cruel event should encourage Wyoming legislators and wildlife advocates to band together and ban the use of snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles to kill wolves in Wyoming and other states.
Sincerely,

Exposing the Big Game 
At the very least! How Rocky Mountain wolf ‘management and protection of the species’ has has been allowed to creep down to this level (of nothing) is beyond me. It was predictable too. It must be changed, and it is up to USF&W to do it.
It’s appalling. How can the governor of Wyoming insist that this is okay? Even if it is an isolated incident, which is it not, as we can see. Wyoming’s Fish & Wildlife should be back in management of wolves, not the legislature! It’s just incomprehensible.
To clarify, I realize that the governor of Wyoming has denounced this action by Cody Roberts, but if you read between the lines of his statement he is defending the status quo of wolf management there. He does not say that snowmobile thrill killing should change. It is indicative of the state of Wyoming’s poor stance, hardly a gold standard. It must be changed.
It’s more important than even punishing that piece of crap for what he did.
Agreed!
If he’s punished people will think it’s over, ‘he got what he deserved’ and go back to business as usual with more wolves and coyotes suffering the cruelty of snowmobile-slamming in the future. That’s where it has to stop!!…
Absolutely! He’s small potatoes.
