Animal Abuse-Predatory Animals HB0275 Advances
Stay with us as we work to end wildlife cruelty and torture. We are profoundly thankful to everyone who showed up and took action to work through solutions to address the cruelty of running over animals with snowmobiles. After months of work, two legislative bills to address this issue have been introduced. HB0003 – Animal abuse-predatory animals that, while not prohibiting the use of snowmobiles for hunting wildlife, mandate that the animal be dispatched soon after being run down is on hold in the committee. The bill was amended to allow judges to suspend hunting and trapping licenses for up to three years as a possible penalty. HB0275 – Treatment of Animals, which initially sets a stiff felony penalty, was heard by the TRW House committee, removing the felony penalty as a first offense. It has been placed on the General File for the full house of the House and the Senate.

Wyoming Trapping Incidents
Tens of thousands of animals are trapped and snared in Wyoming every single year! Many are unreported.
These numbers represent only the trapped animals reported by less than 30% of trappers in Wyoming from 2008 to 2024. For every trap, we believe one to three non-target animals may be trapped. Every animal and bird of prey is a possible victim.
