This is the face of evil. Cody Roberts took a few moments to pose with the wolf and a beer before finally putting the animal out of its agony.

If Cody Roberts doesn't deserve a felony charge, we don't know who does.

Just a few weeks ago, the Daniel, Wyo., resident ran over a wolf with his snowmobile, taped the wounded creature's mouth shut, tortured him, and then paraded the injured animal in front of his buddies at a local dive bar before finally taking the forlorn and bleeding animal out back to shoot him.

It's a crime that shows animal cruelty at its worst. Senseless. Prolonged. Gleeful. Pain meted out with a smirk and a beer.

But instead of charging Roberts with a felony, local officials wrist-slapped him with a $250 fine for unlawful possession of living wildlife. It was a do-nothing penalty—essentially the equivalent of a speeding ticket—that sends a clear message to people like Roberts who find pleasure in tormenting and torturing animals: Go ahead and do it.

Roberts, who owns C. Roberts Trucking, LLC, paid the fine. The case now? Closed.

Not if we—and you—have our way.

Please help us tell the Sublette County Attorney that Roberts must be prosecuted under Wyoming's anti-cruelty law. He must be charged with a felony and go before a jury of his peers.

If ever a case—and if ever a person—deserved felony charges for animal cruelty, it is this one. It is Cody Roberts.
