Wyoming Must ‘Close The Door’ On Running Over Wolves With Snowmobiles, Schmid Says
From CowboyStateDaily:
Nearly a year after the torture and death of a wolf in Daniel, Wyoming, drew worldwide scorn as running predators down with snowmobiles remains legal in the state. Wyoming needs to “close the door” on the practice of using vehicles as weapons against wolves and other predatory animals, said Rep. Mike Schmid, R-La Barge. He’s been vocal about banning predator “whacking” or “mashing” with vehicles, as it’s commonly called.
He sponsored House Bill 331, which would have banned whacking. But that bill died in a House committee. He still hopes that a ban on predator whacking can be amended into House Bill 275, which he co-sponsored.
