The anguished final moments of the wolf that was paraded around a Wyoming bar by a hunter who fatally shooting the animal in the parking lot has been captured in a newly released video.
The disturbing footage, obtained by the Cowboy State Daily from Wyoming Game & Fish Department, captured the large, wild canine with a muzzle on its face, tied up in the corner of the bar with a shock collar around its neck.
The animal was captured by hunter Cody Roberts, 42, who was photographed smiling and raising a can of beer while holding the wolf with red tape wound tightly around its muzzle.
The new videos obtained by the Cowboy State Daily from Wyoming Game & Fish, was captured after Roberts allegedly hit the wolf with his snowmobile.
The tormented wolf is seen languishing on the floor in the shocking video.
Roberts, of Daniel, Wyoming, has been cited for illegal possession of a live wolf and fined $250.
“He’s getting ready to get up,” one person can be heard in the video as the wolf lays curled up, slowly blinking.
A separate clip showed the captured animal sprawled out across the floor, twitching its legs.
Roberts allegedly disabled the wolf when he ran over it with a snowmobile, but instead of killing it — which is legal in Sublette County — took the animal to his home and then to the bar.
He finally took it behind the building and killed it, according to the Cowboy State Daily.
“On 3/4/24 ROBERTS agreed to meet with warden Haley and myself in Pinedale, which he did with a lawyer present,” a brief incident report obtained by the outlet read. “The violation for possession of a live wolf was explained to ROBERTS at that time.”
