Wyoming Legislative Group Will Consider Response To Wolf Torture
From Cowboy State Daily:
Wyoming lawmakers took to solid step Wednesday toward responding to widespread public outcry over the torture and killing of a wolf in Daniel — agreeing to form a legislative subcommittee to look into the matter.
The Legislature’s Joint Travel, Recreation, Wildlife & Cultural Resources Committee agreed to form a subcommittee charged with seeking a possible reform of the state’s wildlife policy.
The group will probably focus first possibly raising the penalty for illegal possession of a live wild animal, as well as a penalty for displaying a live wild animal, said committee co-chair Rep. Sandy Newsome, R-Cody.
