If a Sweetwater County judge won’t dismiss the animal cruelty case against Cody Roberts, his lawyer wants to bar any testimony about how Roberts allegedly ran a wild wolf down with a snowmobile and taped its mouth shut.
Those are “prior acts” to what the state of Wyoming has outlined in its case against the Daniel man — namely, Roberts taking the wolf to the Green River Bar in Daniel and allegedly subjecting it to torment there, attorney Robert Piper writes in his motion filed Monday in Sublette County District Court.
“Such alleged conduct occurred prior to the wolf’s alleged presence at the Green River Tavern on Feb. 29, 2024,” the motion reads. “The state of Wyoming has taken great pains to clarify that it does not take issue with the alleged killing, capture or hunting of the gray wolf in controversy, but with its alleged torture and killing.”

Why is this a federal case? Surely, he should not have done what he did, but the dude is not a hardened criminal. I have a feeling he is going to do a manslaughter sized rap. It was just a damn wolf!

Most serial killers started with torturing animals...

Why is this a federal case? It isn't a federal case. It's an ordinary state case, and the feds are not involved.

I suppose if you’re going to play with a wolf, taping its mouth shut would be the first thing to do.
If he tortured it, he needs to go to the mental health lock up until he’s cured, as you wouldn’t want someone like that walking around amongst us normals.

The heinous crap he did to that poor beast was inexcusable.
Sick in the head level torture.
I hope they make a brutal example of him.

Somebody somewhere will do the same or worse to a dog or cat and there will always be that bunch who say “ it was just a dog/cat”.
There’s no “ just a” excuse for torturing animals.

In a WY dive bar full of his short-a-chromosome relatives and friends.
He made a party of it that spanned days.
Ending predators threatening you or your stock is one thing .
Getting your perverted ya yas by slowly torturing it is a whole ‘nother.

I had a strange thing with a cop when I told him I saw a wolf in the area, he asked where? and I told him ‘of course not, he was just a regular wolf’.

People who torture animals tend to be worse to kids, spouses, and others.
This isn’t lazy neglect or unwittingly stupid behavior, it is cruel.

From the article, he taped the jaws closed (not too tight to restrict breathing) and then later muzzled it to show off at the bar before putting it down outside the bar, as is legal for population control regulated by Wyoming wildlife dept. There was no other form of torture noted as in burning, beating, maiming or causing pain for enjoyment.
Some pansy@ss saw the taped jaw and claimed animal cruelty and torture. This is no Dexter physcho. What a bunch of knee jerks to believe the anti-old-white-guy article written to disparage and debase via an exaggerated nothing burger.

Cut his hamstrings, cover him in pig’s blood and leave him for the pack to find him.
