Wyoming considers amending animal cruelty law to make intentionally striking wolves a felony.

Wyoming is considering amending its animal cruelty law to address incidents of people intentionally running over wolves. The proposed legislation would make it a felony if a surviving wolf is not killed quickly after being struck. Currently, wolves are exempt from these laws, and the state has lenient regulations regarding their hunting. The proposal follows a disturbing incident involving a wolf and aims to enhance protections for the species in the state.
