Dear Editor,
I want to thank hometown hero Cody Roberts for easily accomplishing what a tenacious collection of good hearted wolf advocates couldn’t — bringing national and international attention to the little problem Wyoming has with its treatment of predators. As we know, it’s much easier to sympathize with one individual than a large group of persecuted souls. And boy howdy, did he ever provide us with a sympathetic image. That downcast, docile little wolf pup with red tape cutting into her muzzle, a grown man molesting a dying animal, and his aunt enthusiastically parading in tape and a wolf pelt — no money can buy the mileage wolf advocates are getting out of that trio of images, now seared into the retinas of millions of people.
Here is some of the good that was accomplished in just a few short weeks:
• A little motorcycle rally that raised a year’s worth of funds in just 14 days to lobby for legislative change.
Sincerely,
Kelly Ravner, Pinedale, Wyo.
