In most of Wyoming, wolves can be shot, trapped or run over without a license, permit or limit.
The moment they step beyond the border into this “predator zone” -- whether from nearby Colorado or from Yellowstone National Park -- even protected wolves lose every safeguard.
Wolves can be pursued and struck by snowmobiles, lured with bait, caught in steel-jaw traps and even gunned down from aircraft.
These practices are unthinkable in most states. But in Wyoming they aren’t just legal -- they’re encouraged.
Perhaps the most shocking example of this cruelty is the story of Theia.
Theia was a nine-month-old wolf pup who was struck by a snowmobiler in February 2024. Injured and terrified, she was taped up, driven to a local bar and paraded around for photos and jokes. Eventually, she was taken outside, shot and killed.
This is the heartbreaking reality for gray wolves in Wyoming.
Add your name and urge Gov. Gordon to stop Wyoming’s wolf hunts.
