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.

    You are 100% wrong here, and I’d wager you know little about hunting laws or policy.

    Exciting

    In terms of personal injury, hunting is the safest sport you can pursue, in large part because the population that hunts is eminently ethical.

    Hunters are extremely ethical, as evidenced by their lack of personal injuries. If they were less ethical, they would be considerably more bruised and scratched.

    Carpenters on the other hand are notoriously unethical, we know this because carpenters are prone to injury on the job. If they were mor ethical they would get hurt a lot less.

    This isn’t a No True Scotsman fallacy. This is you presenting a hasty generalization.

    I am presenting hasty generalizations. You are using the No True Scotsman fallacy. Both these statements are true.

    Hunting exists in the form it does here in the US because our ancestors killed off most of the natural predators. It is a necessary thing to maintain a positive symbiotic relationship with nature.

    I’m sure the men who killed those predators thought they were doing a great service to nature and the human race just like the hunters of today delude themselves into thinking they are fulfilling some solemn role that they’d otherwise rather not do. But they wouldn’t fulfil this role at all if it wasn’t a fun enjoyable thing for them to do.
