This isn’t a debate on whether hunting of wolves should be legal or not. This isn’t hunting, it is torturing an animal for some kind of sick pleasure

[@luccamartin8197]

The predator in this case was not the yearling wolf (only 10 months old), but rather this sadistic and evil man named Cody Roberts who gets his jollies from torturing and killing innocent creatures! How many other innocent and helpless animals has he killed?? A serial killer in the making........

The demonic monsters involved. Cody Roberts (torturer), of Daniel WY., owns a trucking company called, C.Roberts Trucking, Daniel WY. The bar that allowed this to happen, The Green River Bar, Daniel WY. I believe C.R. 's wife holds a political position in town. Should a man with this violent and cruel mentality operate a trucking business? I would think not.

Someone should let the Consumer Health Services Division of the Wyoming Department of Agriculture know this place allows wild animals inside a bar where they serve food.
