Wyoming is considering making changes to a law which allows wolves to be killed with vehicles. Under draft legislation headed to a legislative committee Monday, people could still intentionally run over wolves but only if the animal is killed quickly, either upon impact or soon after.

Wyoming is moving ahead with a slight change to how it allows people to legally kill wolves by intentionally running them over.

Outrage over how a man struck a wolf with a snowmobile, taped the injured animal's mouth shut and brought it into a bar has resulted in a proposal to tweak Wyoming's animal cruelty law.

Wildlife advocates say a tougher law is needed but officials in the ranching state have been reluctant to make major changes.
