The killing took place near Montana’s Flathead County. Amber Rose gained massive traction after taking to social media to announce that she “smoked a wolf pup.”

In a Facebook post, she wrote:

“So this morning I set out for a solo predator hunt for a fall black bear however I got the opportunity to take another predator wolf pup 2022 was a great feeling to text my man and say I just smoked a wolf pup. #firstwolf #onelesspredatorMT.”

Rose also attached a collage of graphic images that showed the dead animal. The disturbing content also included the before and after of the dog on the back of her pickup truck.

Full-grown huskies are 20 to 23.5 inches tall and weigh 35 to 64lbs. A gray wolf is 26 to 32 inches tall from the shoulder and weighs between 50 and 110lbs. The difference in size may vary minutely.

Amber Rose may have assumed that she was met with a juvenile gray wolf rather than a husky. However, Huskies have a broader stout and slightly vary in color and build when compared to wolves.

It is important to note that the Montana-native is not related to television celebrity and model, Amber Rose.

Internet users were enraged to find the hunter flaunting her unsettling activity. Many were stunned that Rose did not recognize that she was killing a dog and not a wolf. Several Twitter users demanded that she be held accountable for her actions and punished by the law.

TMZ reported that the local Sheriff’s Office, Animal Control, and Dish and Game agencies are aware of the incident. They also claimed that an investigation into the same is ongoing.

While some tweets reprehended Amber Rose’s actions, others said that what she had done was quite possibly animal abuse.


Amber Rose and her partner defend her actions on Facebook

As netizens blasted Rose on social media, she took to Facebook to defend her actions. In a post, she announced that she was in possession of a “wolf tag” prior to going on a bear hunt. She stated that she ran into a wolf and that her “safety was top priority.”

Rose also claimed that she was unaware of dogs being dropped into the wilderness. She said that this would have allowed her to second guess whether she was confronting a dog or a wolf. However, she stated that she would have shot the animal that was in front of her either way as:

“it was aggressive and coming directly for me.”

She ended her statement by saying:

“I did NOT break any laws!!! I’m not a cruel individual just put killing people pets!”

Her boyfriend Frank Tallent also took to Facebook to defend Amber.

His post was colored with several expletives and threatened to beat up the people who were calling Amber out. He also called netizens a “bunch of cry baby a*s f**king sheep.”

At the time of writing this article, law enforcement had not publicly commented or given statements on the matter.
