Our office has received considerable communication about the actions of an individual involving a wolf that occurred earlier this winter in Sublette County. I want to make my position on this absolutely clear. 1/3
Cruelty to any wildlife is absolutely unacceptable. This is not the way anyone should treat any animal. I am outraged by this incident, just like thousands of Wyoming ranchers, farmers, sportsmen and sportswomen, and others around the state. 2/3
@GovernorGordon Will be cutting Wyoming from our summer travel plans until Cody Roberts is prosecuted. A statement with no action is insufficient. I can’t spend money in a state that doesn’t hold people like Cody Roberts accountable.
@GovernorGordon And I want to make it absolutely clear that you are a pathetic traitor sellout to the people and children of Wyoming. You are despised by the great folks of Wyoming.
@GovernorGordon This will be the face of Wyoming until Roberts and the Green River Bar are prosecuted for animal abuse. It's a felony in every state. A $250 fine isn't even a slap on the wrist. Prosecute him for the felony and suspend the bar's liquor license.
@GovernorGordon Will you do the right thing and make certain justice is done for the young wolf?
@GovernorGordon Torturing a wolf pup is one step away from torturing the family dog -- disgusting, criminal, barbaric, un-American. Do more than tweet!
@GovernorGordon Is this just lip service to placate due to the magnitude of calls coming into your office? If you are truly outraged, do something about Cody Roberts and the antiquated WYFWS laws. We’ll wait, we aren’t going anywhere, you can count on it 💔🐺
@GovernorGordon Cody Roberts has given Wyoming an enormous black eye. The horrific image of him proudly grinning while holding the young wolf he was torturing has gone viral. Your words of outrage will ring hollow until Wyoming enacts a law that allows criminals like Roberts to be held liable.
@GovernorGordon Actions speak louder than words. He needs to be charged along with anyone in that bar that did nothing to stop him!
