An opinion piece published yesterday in the #BillingsGazette explores #CodyRoberts ' #torture of a young female #wolf in Daniel, #Wyoming. By now, most of you have heard the news or seen the disturbing photos and videos. We remain disgusted by the #cruelty, as does our partner and op-ed author #JeffEwelt.
In his op-ed, Jeff Ewelt, the Executive Director of #ZooMontana and a partner of The #RelistWolves Campaign,
Contact #Wyoming State officials including Governor #MarkGordon, at 307-777-7434, and #WyomingGameAndFishDepartment Director, #BrianNesvick, at 307-777-4600. Please be polite and respectful in your comment, but emphasize that the world is watching. Here are three talking points for your call:
The recent incident where a #wolf was chased, injured, and killed, is #AnimalCruelty and tarnishes the reputation of the state.
So, after hours of waiting, the Wyoming Game Commission cut comments about the #CodyRoberts#Wolf#torture off at the 2-hour mark, and many of us didn't get the opportunity to speak.
Here are my remarks. Please feel free to share this broadly or excerpt it as you see fit.
As an #author I often assume knowledge that I should ask about. So, here's the ask: As an average person, if you saw a woman in an urban situation with a #wolf (it is a wolf but nobody is saying it is a wolf), would you assume it was a #dog?
Please boost for maximum sample size.
Feel free to comment if you have experience with telling the difference or studying #wolves.

SRF: "Wolf reisst in Dussnang drei Alpakas"
Anscheinend können wir in Dussnang zuschauen wie ein Wolf Alpakas reisst. Zu welchem Zeitpunkt er sie reisst oder fertig gerissen hat steht nicht in der Meldung. Laut gut unterrichteten Kreisen könnte auch ein Hund, der ja 99% der Wolfgene besitzt, als Alpakasreisser eingesetzt werden. Das schliesst man aber aus subventionstaktischen Gründen aus. https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/im-thurgau-wolf-reisst-in-dussnang-drei-alpakas
Ach, "Schnellabschüsse", also einfach solange Wölfe abschießen, bis es den richtigen erwischt, ist gar nicht so eindeutig legal? Wer hätte das nur ahnen können?
