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.”

Thank God I can still have faith in most FReepers!
This is for the “ hey it’s just a….” folks.
Why are my horses neighing?
Again, most serial killers begin by torturing animals.
The guy ran over the animal with a snow mobile, injuring it, and instead of simplly killing it cleanly if that was his goal, he dragged it to a bar to subject it to further pain and fear just to show off, before killing it.
This is not merely ‘dumb’. It’s mental illness.
Then it’s another crime.
Some videos I've seen make me want to hunt down the perpetrator and exact the same torture he/she performed on the innocent animal
Buy her a drink first.
Who cares, they deserve the same sentence as the serial killers......
Yes according the government department of pre-crime.
Who cares, they deserve the same sentence as the serial killers......
And if the justice system doesn't exact justice, then maybe a Star Chamber needs to form
Justice is exactly what you are foaming at the mouth against.
Same.
There are many days I wish I’d never heard of the internet at all.
😢
And because of that, we should just allow people to keep abusing animals?
Did you miss the part where it’s a crime?
"Foaming at the mouth"? Since when is criticizing the existing judicial system for known atrocities considered foaming at the mouth?
What's your problem? You spoiling for an argument tonight? Sober up and go to bed.....Sheesh!
PETA is that you? “Known atrocities” like comparing killing animals to killing humans.
What do you think the sentence should be?
Usually second offenses get twice or three time the original sentence. Go with that.
I think people who do things like this should have to go through mental health evaluation.
A little re-education in animal welfare wouldn’t hurt, either.
