The hunting and conservation community supported the ban. Stock growers say they can't manage their herds without the ability to kill predators using snowmachines.
Chasing and killing predators like wolves and coyotes with snowmachines remains legal in Wyoming even after some lawmakers tried twice to ban the practice Thursday. The two efforts, a bill called Taking of Predators on Private Lands and another an amendment to an anti-wildlife torture bill, failed largely because the agricultural community says running over carnivores with snowmachines is necessary to manage domestic livestock in the state’s most-rural areas. National media and members of the public, on the other hand, are confusing the practice with hunting. To be clear, running an animal over with a snowmachine is not fair chase.
