Trigger Warning very distressing story.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13295715/Wyoming-hunter-wolf-tortured-bar-killed-cody-roberts.html
This news story is just so upsetting and disturbing it will never leave me. A man from Daniel, Wyoming called Cody Roberts, reportedly ran down a young wolf on his snowmobile, wrapped duct tape around its muzzle, took it home, tortured it, then when he got bored with that hauled the badly injured animal to The Green River Bar to show off his catch, where, in between drinking beer, he posed for photos with the wolf, grabbing it by the scuff of its neck. Finally, he took the poor animal out the back of the bar and shot him dead. The consequences of his appalling actions? A mere 250 dollar fine from the Game and Fish Department.
This has shocked, disgusted and saddened me to the core. The thought of that poor wolf in a crowded bar, mouth shut tight with tape, bleeding and no doubt in agony, so, so terrified. How can someone treat an an animal this way? How could all those people in the bar, including the owners, just stand by and let it happen? How is it possible that this sadistic, depraved, brutal monster can get away with such cruelty and violence towards a living creature in public with zero repercussions apart from a paltry 250 dollar fine? This man is a danger to society and if he can do this in public, what is he capable of doing in private? Many people are quite rightly disgusted and horrified by this news and there is a petition for a higher penalty which you can find here. Please do sign. Disturbingly Cody Roberts has also had a number of supporters including his piece of shit aunt named Jeanne Ivie-Roberts who thought it'd be really cool to show her support to her nephew by posing for photos with the wolf's skin wrapped her and in one photo her mouth wrapped in duct tape. She must have got a real thrill mocking that poor animal. What does that make her? How do these people's minds work? These people absolutely no place within society and deserve to be locked up and left to rot. I hope there is a place in hell waiting for them.

I’m guessing you’ve missed the news about Gaza lately? And maybe haven’t seen the skeletal children in hospitals in Yemen? Or even read about people in Britain, in their 60s and older, people who once had salaries, facing the prospect of sleeping on the street?
I don’t wish suffering on animals - but your OP is frankly excessive.

Like murdering the children in Gaza?
I think it's amazing how we can proclaim such humanity for a wolf (I don't disagree) and be so moved as to put up a post about it but not be moved in the same way but the murder and atrocities going on in Gaza..
Do these lives count too??
No- let's get upset about a wolf. Perhaps we can set up a petition for Wolf Rights?

Sadistic- absolutely vile.
Imagine what this man could do to a person.

Stop the Press- a wolf has been killed!!!!
Terrible situation but maybe OP can make herself feel slightly less upset about the ONE wolf and consider other situations where our thoughts and attention may be needed..
