This poem's news photos and subject will disturb many - read at your own discretion. The embedded article at the bottom is not "disturbing" other than the subject (there is a video link I did NOT preview within the embedded link, because I am disturbed enough by this event).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There he is, this disgusting lout,
grinning with his prize
He grips death in his hands
an unprovoked, unfair murder for no reason but his fun
Death surrounded by fur and innocent wildness
Caught unawares, run down by Excreta on his snowmobile
Crippled it, so it couldn't hurt him,
then tied it up,
duct-taped the poor creature's snout tightly
Right! This big tough Wyoming honcho
couldn’t chance being bit,
or try a fair fight on the ground
An EXCRETA male human,
POS the in common acronyn
Then off to a tavern in the "Cowboy," equality state
What a laugh
Equality?
Where is the equality for wildlife?
Did he suffer as a child at the hands of a cruel daddy?
I don’t give a crap
Doesn’t matter
Choices, we all have them
His mother was there, in the photos,
Mama Excreta
In the tavern, he paraded a frightened,
Defenseless endangered animal,
Tortured it, enjoyed that, and then
killed it
With an audience
The fine? Animal cruelty, $250
The wolf was only a minor fine and
this excreta lives on to torture again
Wyoming
Change your laws - maybe next will be a human
Sociopaths evolve from animal torturers.
Shame
Wyoming
Author's note: I am livid that a human could do this and that others stood by and let it occur. I did not use the words I wanted to. A link to a short article that brings more light to U.S. western states horrible practices on wildife is embedded below.

One Minute to Noon
“OK, guys!” I screech over the macaw-like chatter in my sophomore English class. My students are sharing mementos they accumulated during summer vacation. The assignment is to interview each other and write an expository essay about another student’s treasure: Misty’s coquina shells and sand dollars from Florida, Ruth’s two Navajo pottery mugs from New Mexico, Roxy’s perfume from Paris, Kevin’s chocolate from Hershey Pennsylvania, a picador’s sword from a bullfight in San Fermin Spain, where one of my favorite students, Manny Pérez, ran with the bulls at festival.

Awesome story I like it congratulations 🎉🎉
The person who harms living things will face karmic consequences.
My stomach and heart hurt immensely. I have no words to express my hatred of this guy and those allowing this to happen including the governing “things”
For someone who does this to a wolf it’s only a matter of time. It will come back to him. The Wolf hunts to survive; the person that did this, did it for fun. It would be fun when he gets what’s coming to him.
Oh! Danger coincided with cuteness. Different!
Well-wrought! The wolf hunts for survival where it is preyed upon for sport. Truly revolting.
I'm so sorry Andi because I cannot read this. Judging from your warning at the beginning and the comments, I'm guessing there's animal abuse. I hope you don't mind me not reading this 🥺
Andrea, thank you for publicizing this horrible policy toward our wildlife. I don't even call humans like this person animals, because animals are much more beautiful souls. I say throw the bastard to the wolves.
Omg that's awful, I was disgusted when I saw those photos.What a sick world we live in!! Thanks for sharing this! 💝
The twisted sickness in the mind of someone who finds pleasure in causing pain is incomprehensible. And your absolutely right, the bridge between this and doing the same thing to a human is perilously small. Thank you for writing this memorial for the wolf.
So sad.😭
I think someone should do the same thing to him! Well written!
Really heartbreaking. I just don't understand why some men can't leave nature alone. There was absolutely no reason for this man to torture and kill the wolf.
This is sick. I just don’t understand why there is this level of cruelty in the world.
