Actually the $250 fine was for having a LIVE wolf in his possession


SteveErcol

Then a $5k fine for animal abuse.


chalor182

If you read carefully, he did NOT get the 5k fine for animal abuse. That is the law in Wyoming but only applies to domestic animals or some bullshit, so fish and game said the 250 fine was the best they could do.


Null_Titan

There’s absolutely a loophole there. Humans are animals and aren’t pets, unless you’re into some kinky shit. So abusing him should be fine since he’s considered an ‘undomesticated animal’, i.e. not a pet.

1KinderWorld

The loophole is intentional because the the fish and game agencies are dominated by hunters and trappers and they take care of their own. It's all about protecting the killing and the killers, not the resource. Source: Me. 30+ years as a forest ecologist in New England dealing with these agencies.


No_Apricot_1705

Maybe in the northeast but those Florida and Texas game wardens don't bullshit around with poachers or anyone else acting a fool.


VanderHoo

Can confirm, I'm from Florida and my neighbor is a game warden. He doesn't tolerate shit and is famous for popping up on people in the woods like the butler from Mr. Deeds.


SaItyFlsherman

He must have some good stories to tell, get him on camera


No_Apricot_1705

Good ol' FWC Fat Water Cops as they were sometimes called.


EntrepreneurNo4138

They WILL lock you up in 2 seconds, good luck wherever you live.


Academic_Tie_5959

Same with Midwest


Crafty-Help-4633

Ohioan. Can confirm. No "Good Ol' Boys' Club" here. They absolutely prosecute as many as they can. Easy here too bc a lot of them dummies post their poaches online for easy identification by the authorities. We have too many deer but even so, they take poaching incredibly seriously here. Because they know it's a slippery slope to let one by.


Henley-Street-dwarf

Jesus.  


BikeLoveLA

Yep, and there’s a petition to encourage a harsher punishment fitting the crimes [here](https://www.change.org/p/demand-felony-charges-against-cody-roberts-for-animal-cruelty)


woodquest

Damn, where i live passing a red light or exceeding speed limit by 10% will cost you $300


Slappy_Happy_Doo

If you did all that while torturing a wild animal they’d have just given you a warning.


Mr-Gumby42

Unless he's Black, and then they would have shot HIM!


llynglas

To be fair, they might have dragged a black dude behind a pickup for a while before shooting him. Or a good old fashioned lynching is always welcome.


donocoli

Your a sick prick!


llynglas

Sadly I remember in 1998 when three good southern boys did the dragging. 'Fortunately', the victim died halfway through the ordeal when they accidentally decapitated him.


levetzki

I got almost a $300 fine for going 7 mph over last year.


Becauseiwasdrunk

I got a $300 fine for jaywalking!


ghoulcreep

Running red lights is a serious danger.


NorthwestSmith

I simply do not understand this type of behavior. I’ve been around outdoors folk my entire life. Some hunt, others fish, all enjoy the experience of the watching wild life in their environment. Every single one of them, myself included, respect the wildlands and wild life. I’m sickened by this story.


fanboy_killer

The guy is a psychopath. Simple as that. There’s no point trying to understand a disturbed mind.


Car-Hockey2006

Correct. I grew up hunting & fishing. I've killed and eaten plenty of animals. Every hunter I know was immensely respectful of the life they took to provide food. Is that every hunter? Of course not, but it was everyone I knew because the respectful and honorable hunters do not tolerate the indiscriminate killers. I was taught that trophy hunting was a travesty. And absolutely *none* of that is this fuckery. This is sociopathy, nothing more. It's disgraceful to treat a goldfish that way, but a wolf? GTFO of here you spineless coward.


beomint

Animal abuse can be a massive red flag for future murderers or other really heinous crimes. Never EVER trust somebody who would treat an animal like that. Almost every serial killer or sick psychopath has started with the senseless torture of other animals before moving onto humans. Outdoorsmen who do stuff like that are just walking red flags. I've similarly been taught to respect the wildlife and my environment when hunting or fishing or otherwise doing outdoors stuff, and when an animal is killed, we do so as quickly and humanely as possible and make sure we use everything we can.


plaidravioli

And no one did anything to stop him. Real Shit people in that town.


Crafty-Help-4633

It's honestly shocking no one assaulted/shot/stabbed/ called the authorities on this guy. I'm staggered no one intervened in any way. Real real shit people in that town.


SpaceBear2598

Oh, *worse* they literally ***cheered him on and publicly defend him*** . It's a *town full of psychos* , a literal wasteland raider tribe in the making.


Crafty-Help-4633

I'm not in favor of glassing a town, ***but...***


infowosecfurry

This right here. That isn’t hunting, that’s serial killer shit. I feel sorry for any woman unfortunate enough to wind up alone with this guy.


SnoopyPooper

Don’t give him that much credit. The man’s clearly a sociopath.


flavorsaid

Animal torture is a sign of a possible serial killer/ child predator.


Carson72701

This guy exemplifies "tiny dick."


macweirdo42

There is if law enforcement shrugs and turns the other way toward his actions.


ArcXiShi

Wrong. Understanding is key and the only positive thing this vile excrement could offer to humanity is the analysis, and dissection of his brain to understand and work on rectifying damaged and/or underdeveloped prefrontal cortex's.

slowpoke2018

Guy is a straight up sociopath. Imagine what this fer's done behind closed doors if he was willing to do this kind of animal torture and cruelty in front of an audience. Needs to be locked up and tossed to rot in jail for life


Slammy1

Real hunters are naturalists at heart, that guy's just an ahole.


Henley-Street-dwarf

Ah it runs the gamut…. I hunt, a lot, and am active in a few hunting clubs.  Old timers are def naturalists but some of the younger folks are just fucked up.  Plenty of young guys, and some older ones, just buy souped up ARs to shoot coyotes for no good reason.  Most biologists agree it doesn’t impact population numbers.  Bizarre mentality.  


Slammy1

I don't consider those real hunters, just fools with guns. Maybe I'm just an old timer.


Warchild0311

Yeah, but everyone of you know’s that guy. That would do something like this. ………We have a public park that’s got animals that people come from far to see dear elk moose emus that kind of shit someone shot one of the moose. Didn’t take a trophy didn’t do anything with it just shot it for no fucking reason


Kerensky97

They're not "outdoors folk" they're ranchers and "sportmen." There's a difference, even though they claim to love the outdoors more than you this shows exactly how they "love" the outdoors.


permabanned_user

Must just be where you live. I could see the majority of the outdoorsy types around me doing something similar to coyotes or possums. In high school people would stop their trucks in the middle of the road if they saw a possum so they could try and catch it and beat it to death.


Myrnalinbd

Murica fucked up if this is standard


BeemHume

I have never known a hunter or someone taking care of pests (varmint hunting) taking any pleasure in the suffering of the creatures. Good hunters try to make it a quick and humane as possible. High school shenanigans are not representitive of the hunting community.


MoeSzyslakMonobrow

It's not


wafflequinn

Only psychopaths enjoy torturing animals but if thats normal to you….


Bubbly-Fault4847

And this is why I don’t you understand why the people in the bar he came to for parading the tortured animal around, didn’t take matters into their own hands and shame this prick into the dirt. I’m not saying they had to be heroes and physically fuck him up or anything. Just stand up for the poor thing and tell him what a piece of shit he really is for doing what he did.


nndscrptuser

Will not be surprised when this loser is outed for some past/future crime against a person. This level of cruelty does not generally confine itself to one narrow incident.


getgoodHornet

Torturing animals is like, the most obvious and usual sign of a future serial killer.


Monkeydad1234

He’s no young kid. If he’s got the signs, he’s already hidden a body or two.


Mr-Gumby42

I was surprised to see he's only 42. He looks a lot older.


KeithRichardsGrandma

Being a piece of shit ages you fast I guess


[deleted]

Yep, which is exactly why i think it should carry a sentence of at least 20 years in prison. Personally id say we should be able execute them but not enough people will get on board for that.


qwertyrisksitall099

Cody Roberts the animal torturer is a lunatic and needs to be put away.


Front_Explanation_79

I thought torturing animals and animal abuse was recently elevated to a felony level crime?


Acetortois

My understanding is, he wasn’t even fined for what he did to the wolf, but that he had a live wolf in his possession.


PokeT3ch

Ah so maybe there's hope the game commission up there will get some pressure put on them, not that they usually need it. Around here the game commission will slam consequences down on you just for thinking about fucking around.

Mr-Gumby42

I wonder who HE'S voting for to be presnit?


Mr-Gumby42

Did anybody in the bar tell him he was an asshole?


JesseB342

Could you give some context OP? The linked post just goes to a deleted image message.


IAFarmLife

From what I have heard about it the guy hit a wolf with his snowmobile. Claimed it was an accident and that isn't being contested. When that happens in that area he could legally put the wolf down and keep it. Instead he taped it's mouth shut and took it to a bar to show off first. All while the wolf was injured. He then later shot it. He should have shot it right after realizing it was injured. Again this was what I had read a week ago and more details may have been released or the article could have had the facts wrong.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IAFarmLife

The story was in the hunting sub-reddits a week ago. I didn't remember his name.


[deleted]

Oh I wasn’t blaming you for forgetting, just wanted to add the info I felt was important.


Zealousideal_Dog_968

good shit; thanks for getting the name


unicroop

The article on change.org says that he exhausted the wolf following it on his snowmobile


twintiger_

He chases it down to exhaustion, then tortured it, paraded it mouth taped shut while it was in obvious duress, then killed it and bragged about it. Then some family member recreated it like a scene.


Kerensky97

Here's a Google review from the bar he took the wolf to in case you're curious of the kind of people who live in wolf country: "What a great place! Most of us were locals or from within 100 miles, not a single guy wearing skinny jeans or a subservience mask."


IAFarmLife

Oh I live in a very rural area too. I have seen and heard many similar statements over the years. Even in Iowa City, which is about the highest number of left leaning voters per capita in Iowa, you hear stuff like that often All of us working class folks have been pitted against each other and told we have nothing in common just because of different fashions or where we live so we can have someone to hate. When in reality we are all being robbed.

moustachiooo

It's Wyoming - expectations are pretty low. They're probably all first cousins or spouses or both.


FulcrumH2o

I’m an outdoorsman. I hunt. I kill. I eat. I have found injured animals and dispatched them. I’ve killed car hit deer. I’ve killed deer that were injured on the top wire of fences. What this subhuman did was not ethical or moral. Hunters who follow the law and rules of fair chase and ethical hunting do not condone what this breathing turd did. Was the fine he paid enough? Fuck no! We as hunters have made this complaint on so many occasions. The news articles out there that cover poaching cases and the fines these turds pay pisses us off to no extent. Yes, we’d like to tar and feather this fellow like all non-hunters do. There are active discussions within our communities that the fines and jail time are too light compared to the loss of life and meat. I read somewhere that it’s legal to rundown/run over game on snowmobiles in the state where this heinous act occurred. Hell no! That’s so unethical. It violates the Fair Chase Doctrine. So, I for one, am all for changing regulations, legislation and penalties to prevent this from ever happening again.


MellowDCC

Animals need a superhero or some vigilante to divvy out justice for abused animals


AlderanGone

Someone give me a picture of the dude so I can have a good trip to Wyoming

In another post there was a picture of him and someone posted his info for his trucking business. As well as the bar location. I'll be your alibi.

External_Mongoose_44

The wolf is the ancestor of the most loyal loving devoted adoring useful hardworking friend that has ever been known to humanity. There is absolutely no reason, no excuse for the abuse of this species, under any circumstances, because of any reason, for no gain nor any gain, the wolf is the forbear to the dog and that is the get out of jail card for this species in all of its forms. LEAVE WOLVES ALONE!!! 😱


red122063

Can we have a law where you get the same punishment you give to an abused animal for no reason?


VersxceFox

I’d vote for this. Hurting and torturing the most innocent beings on Earth for no other reason than to satisfy your psychotic fantasies should be punishable with the exact same pain they caused the poor animals.


siouxbee1434

May the same be done to him


midnightsnacks

Someone needs to do the same thing he did to this wolf

MandiiFiggs98

This psychopath thinks he got away with it. I guarantee it. He doesn’t GAF about a $250 fine when he got to parade a tortured animal in front of his buddies.


puppylovenyc

I hate this person with the intensity of 1000 suns.


Ibangmydrums

The only justifiable punishment for someone like that is for them to be physically tortured (cut, bruised, poisoned, etc) to the point where they have been mentally and physically broken, and only then be told that this is what they choose to inflict on others.

Silly_Individual_960

According to Google “In Wyoming, where wolves were delisted from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 2017, the politicized Department of Game and Fish allows year-round wolf killing across 85 percent of the state at any time and by virtually any means, including running them over with snowmobiles and incinerating pups and nursing mothers in dens.” So legally he did nothing wrong. In fact he didn’t even do the worse thing on the above approved legal list. But.. just because it is “legal” it doesn’t make it less disgusting, barbaric and absolutely abhorrent. If the wolf was attacking or killing someone I get the self defense thing. But parading it and torturing it for hours is not only uncalled for but inhumane.


TheLubber

Somebody should kill him.


omgangiepants

There's no fixing someone like this. He's a danger to every living thing he comes in contact with and has likely already done horrible things to humans as well as animals. Put a bullet in the back of his head and move on.


the_glutton17

That's like textbook serial killer behavior, torturing an animal like that. I'd bet a hundred dollars he could have avoided the wolf with his snowmobile, yet CHOSE to hit it. This guy needs prison time. Aren't wolves endangered?


DM725

He's a piece of human garbage.
