BILLS TRAVELING THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE NOW

LEGISLATORS NEED TO HEAR FROM THEIR CONSTITUENTS

Last year, a Wyoming man ran over and injured a young wolf in Sublette County with a snowmobile, taped her muzzle shut and paraded her through a bar before killing her. That man received a paltry $250 fine and no prosecution, although Wyoming law would have authorized a larger fine and jail time.

This year, Wyoming lawmakers have introduced two bills, HB0003 and HB0275, ostensibly to address the outrageous behavior that Cody Roberts demonstrated in tormenting and killing a young wolf in February of 2024. But those bills both permit the continued use of motor vehicles—including snowmobiles—to pursue, injure and kill “predatory animals” (gray wolves, coyotes, jackrabbits, porcupines, raccoons, red foxes, skunks and even domestic cats). However, importantly, HB0275 would punish an individual for animal cruelty, making it a felony not to immediately kill an animal struck by a vehicle or to otherwise torment or cause suffering to wildlife.

You are invited to a webinar sponsored by the Humane Society of the U.S. to discuss these two bills and break down what each of them would mean for wildlife in Wyoming. During this webinar, you’ll hear from a panel of experts from WWA and Wolf and Wildlife Advocates and learn what you can do to help change Wyoming’s laws. The event is free and open to the public, but you must register to attend.
