Sublette County Sheriff K.C. Lehr has received more than 7,000 emails about a Wyoming man who reportedly captured and tormented a wolf before killing it, he told Cowboy State Daily on Wednesday.

Some of those are threats.

Lehr said people in his office, as well as Sublette County and Wyoming Game and Fish Department personnel, have been receiving threats — including death threats — stemming from Daniel, Wyoming, man Cody Roberts’ reported capture, torment and killing of a wild wolf in late February.

      It would be whataboutism if the purpose were to excuse this man’s action by pointing to other examples. But I don’t believe the person you’re replying to intended that. I think they mean to say this man is awful, and so are carnists, which is not whataboutism.

        You’re partially right but I don’t really believe in evil and good people. Carnists aren’t evil but carnism is evil. If I thought people were simply evil I would not poke the bear so to speak.

          I don’t believe in inherent evil either, but I believe a person’s actions create their moral character, and moral character is a useful metric.
