Man tortures wolf before killing it

[Humptulips]

I watched and I guess I missed the torture part. Animal seemed to be laying on the floor with a muzzle on it, not much else.

Humptulips, I thought the same thing.   It looks photoshopped

Or it isn't a wild wolf at all. Makes me think of the pictures HSUS ran when they were campaigning for I-713 to ban bodygripping traps. They had a coyote sitting there with a conibear on its neck, alive with sad eyes. That just does not happen and neither does a wild wolf sit there and let you put your arm around it and not make an attempt to pull away. I'll add the story says he ran over it with a snowmobile yet I don't see any signs of injury.
Most have heard about the films of a guy skinning a fox alive in China. Turns out an animal rights group out of Europe paid the guy to do it and filmed it all. I would not put it past them to manufacture this story and plant it in the press.
Color me suspicious.

The guy pled guilty to possessing a wild wolf.

It's a wild animal, I don't believe it would be that docile if it was healthy and not compromised.   And I'd have a hard time being convinced that not killing that thing as soon as it was injured after being run down with a snowmobile isn't a form of torture.  You can even hear someone saying "I think he's getting his feet under him," which I take to mean they know he's injured/compromised in some way at that time and recovering.  Just to be taken out back and killed anyway? 

I'm not mad there's another wolf out of the system, but I don't understand the desire to make it suffer.  If you don't "put it out of its misery" at that point, you're willingly keeping it in its misery - and that's torture to me.

Kind of like how they torture ungulates

So basically because an animal does it, we should do it too? There's a long list of things that animals do, that people shouldn't...

Wow!!! I thought to myself this morning before looking at this that I should bring up the fact that the wolf had been ran over by a snow mobile and may have sustained internal injuries and this fact, may account for his lethargy and seemingly docileness. I never could of imagined that the wolf was just getting what he deserved. Alrighty then, maybe this thread, post or whatever it's called, should be removed?

There is a reason everyone is taught to make an ethical and sound decision when taking a shot at an animal so that it is dispatched quickly and without suffering. That goes for predators, ungulates, birds etc. This was intentional torture plain and simple. Nothing else.

Till the day I die I'll never understand the hatred towards an animal for merely existing as God designed them. ESPECIALLY the hatred from an animal who who hates them because they are trying to do the same exact thing....kill a deer or elk

I figure people would have taken the whole run over by a snowmobile thing into consideration also.

I agree. Dbag if it actually happened as purported, but things just don't seem right.

Rough video to watch, absolute shame.

Amen brother.

I do not condone torture or this behavior in anyway.  I will say this that until you see the carnage that wolves can do, don't be too judgemental about people hating them.  I don't mean stories, videos or pictures I mean the real deal carnage up close a and personal.  It changes you.
