All of Wyoming is facing criticism after a man there displayed a wolf he captured in a bar.
Cody Roberts in an image from a video in which he brought a live wolf into a bar in Daniel, Wyo., in February 2024.
But this wolf didn’t die that way. A source who requested anonymity for personal safety reasons says Roberts shot the animal later that night. But it’s what happened at the bar before he shot the wolf that has become a huge story. “Does he deserve everything that he's getting? No, I don't think he does,” he said. “You know, he's still a human.”
“There's all kinds of letters I’ve gotten. I got one that was like, ‘The world is watching you.’ You know — so no pressure,” O’Hare half-joked. “It's not only a man's reputation, his family and their livelihood on the line, but it's also the reputation of the community — and the perception from the rest of the world.”
One comment she got reads, “Go practice real journalism Cali O’Hare, you b***h on a witch hunt for a man's family.”“I'm just doing my job. It's not personal. And I have great empathy for all of the folks involved in this,” she said.On Memorial Day weekend, the local frustration moved beyond keyboards to in-person in Daniel.
“Boys and booze and wolves obviously didn't mix up well,” said Pat Johnson “What was wrong about it was bringing it to this d*mn bar.”“I’m not too happy with what Cody Roberts did,” said Gary Garlick, from the nearby town of Big Piney. “There's a lot of ranchers that are upset with him as well. They're concerned about predator control, but what he did was a little out of line.
The local crowd mostly booed, blatantly giving a thumbs down. Some called out, “That’s it?” Another said, “And I canceled church for this?”
