As a deeply concerned citizen and an advocate for animal rights, I am appalled by the horrific act of cruelty inflicted upon a wolf by Cody Roberts of Daniel, Wyoming. Animals have just as much right to feel safe and be spared any unnecessary pain. If it was a person being tortured, the man would be in jail immediately.

This petition calls upon Sublette County Attorney Clayton Melinkovich and Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr to bring felony charges against Cody Roberts for the torture, abuse, and murder of this innocent creature. This is not only about justice for one wolf but also about sending a clear message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.

Animal abuse is a serious issue that often goes unpunished. According to The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), nearly 1 million animals are abused or killed each year due to some form of human violence. It's time we take these statistics seriously and ensure those responsible face appropriate legal consequences.

We urge you to use your authority to hold Cody Roberts accountable for his actions under Wyoming Statute 6-3-203 which clearly states that "A person commits cruelty to animals if he knowingly overrides an animal or drives an animal when overloaded...or unnecessarily or cruelly beats...or tortures an animal."

Please join us in standing up against such heinous acts of violence towards our wildlife by signing this petition today!
