The Sublette County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday that it’s investigating reports of a Wyoming wolf being tormented by a local resident, which could lead to additional criminal charges.
Environmentalists pushing to have Wyoming’s wolves re-listed under federal protection say the viral story of a wolf being tormented and killed in Sublette County strengthens their case.
Amid a growing outcry for stiffer penalties in the case of a Sublette County man who allegedly tortured a wolf, a retired federal game warden said it might be possible to revoke the man’s hunting privileges.
