Wyoming isn't gonna change anything in regards to killing wolves. That state politically is nothing like ours.
Where this hurts sportsmen in in states like ours, Colorado and another state with a large non hunting metro area. This event hurts us. No matter how much we nashing of teeth or chastising we do antis will paint us with that brush..
The anti's are going to do what they do online as they always do. Most people arent pissed that the wolf was killed, they are pissed that it was injured, loaded into the back of a truck with its mouth taped shut, and drug around a bar in town while it was dying to show off. It isnt a killing wolves issue, if that was done to an elk or rabbit or duck it is also wrong.
The issue isnt about wyoming and killing wolves, its about wyoming not having enforcement mechanisms to prevent people from deliberately torturing animals that arent pets or livestock.
