A graphic video showing the torture of an injured coyote by hunter Aron Snyder is under investigation after footage surfaced of a man dragging the animal by its tail, throwing it, kicking it, stabbing it, and taunting it while it appears wounded and unable to escape.
Initial reporting tied the investigation to Wyoming, but in his own apology video, Aron Snyder stated that the incident took place in Texas. Wyoming Game and Fish has confirmed that an investigation is underway but has not released further information while the case remains active. According to reporting by Cowboy State Daily, investigators are still working to determine exactly when and where the incident occurred.
Regardless of location, this is not wildlife management. This is cruelty and ACCOUNTABILITY MATTERS: especially when cruelty toward wildlife is filmed, shared, and minimized afterward.
