It is legal to kill wolves in the part of Sublette County where the harrowing incident occurred. However, by keeping the animal alive and tormenting it as Roberts allegedly did, he was violating hunting ethics.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department confirmed that one person had been cited and fined for the misconduct, but did not name them.
However, Sublette County Circuit Court records show that Roberts, a local resident, was cited for a wildlife violation stemming from an incident that took place on February 29.
According to public records, Roberts has a hunting and fishing license.
Roberts did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.
Adam Hymas, the responding officer, was also contacted but DailyMail.com did not receive a response at the time of publication.

In a statement to Cowboy State Daily, Game and Fish spokesperson Breanna Ball said, “The Wyoming Game and Fish Department was notified by an anonymous tipster that an individual was alleged to be in possession of a live wolf.”
‘The complainant notified the Department on March 1, 2024. According to the investigation, the individual possessed the live wolf on 02/29/24.
‘The individual was hunting when he encountered the wolf in the predator zone and intended to hunt it.
‘However, the wolf was transported alive back to his residence and then to a business in Daniel, Wyoming.
‘The individual sacrificed the wolf that same day. “The individual was cited for violating Chapter 10, Importation and Possession of Live Warm-Blooded Wildlife,” the statement said.
The offense Roberts faces carries a $250 fine.
About 85 percent of Wyoming is a wolf “predatory zone,” meaning wild animals can be killed at any time with no bag limits or hunting days.
Areas of Wyoming near national parks are considered a “trophy hunting area,” meaning that wolves are a “trophy species” that can be hunted, but only by tagged hunters during designated seasons and within predetermined quotas.
Within Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, wolves are under full federal protection and are not permitted to be hunted.
