ACTION ALERT
Let Your Voice Be Heard End Wildlife Cruelty
Join us to end wildlife cruelty and torture!
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. The group’s upcoming meeting date is Wednesday September 4.
Please get in touch with the members of the Treatment of Predators Working Group and the TRW full committee before the next meeting 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.

Our Beaver Dam Cam reveals why beavers are keystone species, meaning they create habitat necessary for other species’ survival. Unfortunately, beavers are trapped and killed for recreation or because they are considered a nuisance. The removal of beavers from the landscape negatively impacts many other plants, wildlife, and fish species.

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 2023. For every trap, we believe one to three non-target animals may be trapped. Every animal and bird of prey is a possible victim.
