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.”

Guy is mentally defective. You kill as humanely as possible and don’t make a show of it.
The red flags should be going off about checking into his past re: abuse of people.
This seems to be pointless between us.
If that is how you truly think (perhaps you need to deep dive ALL he did to her over a few days) we need no further discourse as we’re simply not copacetic at all.
If you consider this “ acceptable “ there is nothing more I can say.
100% - the fact that this is a story shows that we have completely succumbed to rampant emotionalism. The facts of this case are a complete nothing-burger.
What a dilemma.
I can’t decide if this qualifies as a Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc or just a Red Herring.
Either way, I’m allergic to logical fallacies.
🙄
Civilization demands prosecuting this kind of behavior.
Even animals don’t willfully torture other animals.
I’m horrified by those defending this.
I suppose if you’re going to play with a wolf, taping its mouth shut would be the first thing to do.
= = =
And what if you are going to play with a cougar?
How many humans would be alive if these monsters had been stopped?
🤔
———-
Jeffrey Dahmer: As a child, he decapitated dogs and staked cats to trees, impaling their heads on sticks.
Ted Bundy: Tortured small animals, including cats and dogs, and as a child bought mice at a pet shop to “play God” with their lives.
Dennis Rader (BTK): Tortured animals by hanging and strangling them, later mirroring this “Bind, Torture, Kill” method on humans.
Albert DeSalvo (Boston Strangler): Trapped cats and dogs in boxes, shooting arrows through them for target practice.
Edmund Kemper: Buried the family cat alive, later killing it and another cat before murdering his grandparents and others.
David Berkowitz (Son of Sam): Shot a neighborhood dog before beginning his killing spree
Think of the bell curve. It’s in full display on the thread.
Depressing.
This place is “ home” and FReepers are the “ family” I chose.
It’s just saddening to me.
I expected better.
And someone must have known.
If you consider this “ acceptable “ there is nothing more I can say.
*******************
I did not say this is acceptable. I said the guy was very dumb.
Understand.
I’ve got some family and extended family that are the best.
Then there’s a few extended family that would probably buy this animal abuser a beer for what he did.
It takes all kinds.
Silence = Complicity
Very sorry to hear that.
The good ol boys here in the mountains would’ve already dealt with him.
“ quietly “
I agree with you. He’s a crap person but he should get a month or two in jail at most.
And if he does it again?
FWIW, bikers have recently joined the moral outrage contingent.
/let’s see what happens next….
I agree with you. He’s a crap person but he should get a month or two in jail at most.

Exactly!
Thank you, I do too.........
