The Treatment of Predators Working Group is a subcommittee established in response to the cruel incident involving the torture of a wolf in Daniel, Wyoming, in February of this year. The group aims to address wildlife and predator laws, or rather the lack thereof, in Wyoming. Despite recent meetings, the group has yet to commit to prohibiting the use of vehicles to chase, injure, torture, and kill wildlife. Additionally, the group has not proposed legislation addressing the urgent need for updated wildlife treatment regulations but continues to legalize vehicular harassment and death. The final Working Group draft bill will be reviewed for submission to the legislature on September 30 @1:30 pm.

Please contact the members of the Travel, Recreation, Wildlife and Cultural Resources Committee (TRW) before the next meeting on September 30 and politely request the ban on the use of snowmobiles to chase and kill wildlife. Let your legislators know that legislation concerning wildlife cruelty needs critical updates. Wyoming’s reputation is at stake, and it’s time for the working group to take decisive action. Wildlife deserve dignity and respect. All native wildlife deserve to be shielded from unwarranted killing and torture.
