Photos showing the wolf with its mouth bound and video clips of the animal lying on the floor alive but barely moving went viral at the time, leading to condemnation and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/wyoming-law-tweak-wolves-killing-vehicles\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">scrutiny of Wyoming&#8217;s laws<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wyoming law gives wide leeway for people to kill wolves and other predators by a variety of means in the vast majority of the state. Roberts initially paid a $250 fine for illegal possession of wildlife. But in August 2025, a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/man-indicted-wolf-tormenting-killing-animal-wyoming\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">rare grand jury<\/a><\/span> found enough evidence to indict Roberts on a charge of felony animal cruelty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trial was set for March 9, with Roberts facing up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine if convicted. Under the proposed plea deal he signed Feb. 17, Roberts would plead guilty or no contest to one count of felony animal cruelty, according to court documents.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed plea agreement would prohibit Roberts from drinking alcohol, going into a bar or liquor store, and hunting or fishing while on probation.<\/p>\n<p>As of Thursday, his trial remained scheduled and no plea hearing date was set, according to Sublette County District Court officials.<\/p>\n<p>Roberts had no listed phone number and couldn&#8217;t be reached for comment. Both Sublette County Attorney Clayton Melinkovich and Roberts&#8217; attorney, Robert Piper, of Cheyenne, declined to comment Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Humane World for Animals, formerly the Humane Society of the United States, welcomed the news of Roberts&#8217; proposed plea agreement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the same time, the case reveals the serious gaps that leave wolves and other wildlife vulnerable to cruelty,&#8221; Nicholas Arrivo, an attorney for the group, said in an emailed statement. &#8220;Like domestic animals, wild animals are at the mercy of humans and deserve respect and legal protection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The initially light punishment for Roberts led to calls for a Wyoming tourism boycott, to little apparent effect. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/these-united-states-yellowstone-national-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Yellowstone National Park<\/a><\/span> had a busier year in 2024 than the year before.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves remain listed as a federally endangered or threatened species in most of the country, but have no such protection in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, where they can be hunted and trapped.<\/p>\n<p>Exceptions include Yellowstone and neighboring Grand Teton National Park, where hunting is prohibited and wolves are a major attraction for millions of tourists. In 85% percent of Wyoming, wolves are classified as predators and can be freely killed by virtually any means.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called predator zone includes Sublette County, where the wolf was killed. Groups including Humane World for Animals argued that Wyoming&#8217;s animal cruelty law could nonetheless apply there.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
