Target: Loretta R Howieson Kallas, Uinta County, WY Prosecutor
Goal: Hold the individuals accused of abusing a moose accountable and seek the maximum penalties under the law.
Wyoming’s reputation is at stake following an appalling incident of alleged wildlife abuse that has drawn outrage from both residents and concerned citizens nationwide. In Uinta County, three men reportedly roped, rode, and dragged a cow moose across the ground, ultimately leading to her death from injuries sustained during this horrific event. Surveillance footage seemingly shows the moose in poor health and suffering, raising serious questions about the treatment of wildlife in the state. Such shocking actions, if true, not only demonstrate a disconcerting disregard for animal welfare but also tarnish Wyoming’s image as a state that values its wildlife and natural beauty.
The disturbing details of this case cannot be overlooked. The accused individuals, Range Martin, Justin Martin, and Kylan Platt, allegedly committed these acts in 2021, and have been charged with felonies including the “wanton taking of a big game animal.” Public outcry has been overwhelming, and organizations advocating for wildlife protection are echoing calls for stringent punishment to deter similar acts of cruelty in the future. The senseless nature of this alleged abuse reminds the public that urgent actions are needed to ensure the safety and safeguarding of Wyoming’s wildlife.
The continued occurrences of such egregious acts highlight a cultural issue that promotes cruelty towards animals. Therefore, it is imperative to demand that the Uinta County Prosecutor pursue the harshest penalties available in this case, to send a clear message that such abhorrent behavior will not be tolerated and to restore faith in the state’s commitment to wildlife protection.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Prosecutor Kallas,
The recent case involving alleged abuse of a cow moose by Range Martin, Justin Martin, and Kylan Platt has left the community in shock and disbelief. Reports have surfaced claiming that these individuals roped, rode, and dragged the moose until her injuries caused death. Such inhumane treatment cannot be excused and speaks volumes about the urgent need for stringent wildlife protections in Wyoming. Videos apparently portraying the moose in distress and poor health only add to the gravity of this situation and demand accountability.
The sentiments expressed by residents and wildlife advocates alike emphasize that this is not merely a case of individual wrongdoing but reflects deeper systemic issues regarding animal welfare in the state. Public outcry has been fierce, with calls for the justice system to act decisively to deter similar acts of animal cruelty in the future. The community’s frustration is palpable, with many feeling that the current penalties for such actions do not adequately reflect the severity of the crime. This case represents an opportunity for significant change in wildlife protection standards in Wyoming.
It is essential that you pursue the maximum penalties allowed under the law for the individuals accused of this heinous act. By doing so, you will not only provide justice for the moose but will also show that Wyoming stands firmly against animal cruelty. Wildlife should be treated with respect and care, and it is essential to advocate for their protection. The time for action is now.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
