UPDATE (8/21/25): Great news! Wolf Killer Cody Roberts Indicted on Felony Charges.

In Wyoming, a horrendous act of animal cruelty shocked people across the country. Cody Roberts of Daniel, Wyoming, mercilessly ran over a young wolf with his snowmobile. He then silenced the animal's cries by taping his mouth shut and paraded him around his local bar, before dragging him outside to shoot him.

We cannot even begin to imagine the terror this animal felt in his final moments.

But instead of being charged with animal cruelty, Roberts was fined a measly $250 for being in possession of a live wolf.

These despicable actions driven by hatred must not go unpunished. Please join Species Unite in urging Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr, to do the right thing and uphold his duty as a law enforcement officer by bringing appropriate animal cruelty charges in this case.

Our criminal justice system was designed to protect everyday citizens and allowing a violent individual like this to remain free is a clear danger to the people of Sublette County and the state of Wyoming. Submit your urgent letter using the form above.

Correction: An earlier version of this petition identified Hope as a female wolf. Court documents made public after this petition was first published clarify that Hope was a male yearling wolf. The petition has been updated accordingly.
