A female hunter is facing the wrath of thousands on social media after she proudly displayed the carcass of a dog she killed and skinned on social media, mistaking the animal for a baby wolf.
The woman, Amber Rose of Miller City, Montana, reportedly posted the troubling photos showing off the brutalized young husky on Friday, claiming the animal was a wolf and touting the kill.
Almost instantly, an army of angry dog-lovers pointed out that the slain creature was not a wolf pup, but in fact a much smaller Siberian husky – causing a wave of backlash that has since spurred an investigation from the local sheriff.
The disturbing and graphic images show Rose, who was accompanied on the hunting trip in Montana’s Flathead County with her hunter husband Frank Tallent, showing off the skinned husky with a Cheshire Cat-like grin.
Both Rose and Tallent have since defended their actions saying the kill was perfectly legal an act of self defense, while also bizarrely claiming it was in fact a mistake.
Tallent, meanwhile, launched an expletive-laced rant at the waves of critics now calling for his wife’s arrest, threatening them with violence while simultaneously conceding the incident was a bad look for the hunting community.
‘Mistakes happen – big fu**in’ deal,’ the Montana man wrote at one point in a ranting, menacing post in defense of his partner.
The incident transpired near Doris Creek in the Flathead National Forest, with Rose quickly taking to Facebook to announce what she evidently saw as an accomplishment.

‘So this morning I set out for a solo predator hunt for a fall black bear,’ Rose wrote in a post to the platform that has since been deleted, according to TMZ.
‘However,’ the huntress went on, ‘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.’
Rose would then sign off with two hashtags: ‘#firstwolf #onelesspredatorMT.’
The post promptly spawned of wave of backlash from eagle-eyed onlookers perturbed that a supposed hunter could not tell the difference from a wolf and a domesticated dog.
‘That was not a wolf it was a husky that is a dog!!!!’ one user wrote, evidently horrified by Rose’s post, where she touted how she ‘smoked’ the supposed wolf pup.
‘This absolutely disgusting and hurtful!’ another sniped. ‘If you cannot tell the difference between a WILD WOLF and a HUSKY, you should not – ever – own a hunting license of even a gun for that matter. There are no excuses.’
The users even crossed platforms after Rose made her Facebook profile private following the flood of fury – and were able to track down her Instagram profile to flame her further there.

In a post from Rose that appears to show her own pet dog, a user sarcastically asked, ‘You gonna skin this one too?’
‘I hope she gets prison time,’ another chimed in – a sentiment that would be echoed thousands of times over as the post made its rounds across the world wide web.
Those aspirations, however, will likely be in vain – as both the local Sheriff’s Office and the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks agency have since investigated the claims and determined Rose should not face charges – despite discerning the animal was, in fact, a dog.
‘We’ve determined that it wasn’t a wolf,’ Greg Lemon, communication and education division administrator of the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks agency, told local outlet MTN News.
Rose did not address her over-the-top posing of the animal she said she was so frightened of, which saw her warp the dead animal’s face so it could ‘smile’ with her for the camera and aggressively grabbing the dead animals neck
Lemon went on to tell the outlet that Rose had in fact shot a dog, near Martin City outside of Kalispell, while hunting in nearby Glacier National Park.
The Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks awarded Rose a Wolf License for this hunting season – however, it is unclear if she will face charges in relation to the incident
Police, meanwhile, are probing the contentious kill, with the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office now leading the investigation.
In a statement announcing the investigation Monday, the sheriff’s office revealed that the dog had been abandoned in the Doris Creek woods, along with at least 11 others someone abandoned – all husky and shepherd mixes, according to the department.
Animal Control was able to pick up 11 of the dogs, police said, but unfortunately, the husky was shot and killed by Rose before lawmen could locate it.
Police were made privy to the case by the Monthan Fish Wildlife and Parks agency, who tipped them off about the slew of scathing social media posts chiding Rose for callously showing off what appeared to be a poached pooch.
Police wrote of the case: ‘On September 23rd, 2022 the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by local citizens who had picked up several husky and shepherd mix dogs in the area of Doris Creek in the Flathead National Forest.
In a statement announcing the investigation Monday, the sheriff’s office revealed that the dog had been abandoned in the Doris Creek woods, along with at least 11 others someone abandoned – all husky and shepherd mixes, according to the department
The parties were able to pick up 11 dogs which were turned over to Animal Control and taken to the animal shelter.
‘Animal Control later located several other dogs in the Doris Creek area which were also taken to the animal shelter.’
The lawmen added that they are currently ‘looking to identify the person or persons who left the dogs in the area [near] Doris Creek,’ after learning ‘through Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks that one of the dogs may have been shot.
‘The person who is believed to have shot the dog has been identified,’ the department added, referring to Rose. ‘The case is under investigation.’
Amid the flood of media attention surrounding her bungled kill – as well as a TMZ article that recounted the online backlash she’s faced as a result of the mistake – Rose took to Facebook once again, this time to insist upon her own innocence.
The longwinded spiel saw the once proud hunter concede that she made a mistake, but bizarrely also claim the kill was an act of self defense from an ‘aggressive’ animal.
The sheriff’s department, meanwhile, said it has identified Rose (pictured here hunting deer) as a person of interest in the case, and is now investigating whether she had the proper hunting license.
‘To all!’ Rose wrote in a post that has also been widely circulated online. ‘A lot of things in your articles and post are not true what’s so ever! I purchased my wolf tag prior to leaving for a bear hunt in the event I ran into a wolf.
In the error-riddled appeal, Rose went on to write that she then did encounter ‘what I thought could be a hybrid’ wolf – part-wolf and part-husky.
‘During this time my safety was top priority,’ Rose explained, asserting that she thought her life was on the line when running into dog – which looked to weigh between 40 and 50 pounds.
‘This animal was growling howling and coming at me like it was going to eat me,’ Rose went on, in attempt to win over the mob of detractors that want her to pay for the fatal oversight.
‘Yes I made a mistake because I did think it was a hybrid wolf pup,’ Rose continued, ‘but I was not aware of a 19 dogs being dropped 11 miles into the wilderness either way,’ she said, inflating the number of dogs mentioned by police in their statement.
She proceeded to assert ‘yes I would still have shot’ the animal – ‘because it was aggressive and coming directly for me!
‘So please remove all your post thinking I just shot and killed someone’s pet! I am human did I make a mistake thinking it was hybrid wolf pup however there are no charges are against me as I did NOT break any laws!!! I’m not a cruel individual.’
Rose did not address her over-the-top posing of the animal she said she was so frightened of, which saw her warp the dead animal’s face so it could ‘smile’ with her for the camera and aggressively grabbing the dead animals neck.
‘During this time my safety was top priority,’ Rose wrote over the weekend in repsonse to the backlash, asserting that she thought her life was on the line when running into dog – which looked to weigh between 40 and 50 pounds
Her husband, however, took a much more entrenched approach to social media user’s distaste over the incident, urging naysayers to express their dissatisfaction to his face while threatening them with with literal violence.
‘Any you mother f***ers talk all the shit you [sic] cause not one of you mother fuckers are tough enough to act on any of your bullshit,’ Tallent wrote in another, even more error-ridden post.
‘If so come on to my place and I’ll beat your f***ing ass my self.’
‘Ya my girl friend was out hunting and shot a fucking dog that was dumped out in the woods,’ he went on.
‘No charges have been filed or will be filed because no laws were broke.’
The Montana man would then bizarrely claim that the animal was wild, after seemingly saying it was dumped in the woods by what one would presume to be its previous owner, and that it ‘was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
‘It was a deer chasing ferral [sic] ass dog on the wrong place at the wrong time,’ Tallent wrote. ‘So if you wanna be a bunch of cry baby a** f***ing sheep keep going cause we really don’t give two f**ks about what’s going on or what’s being said.
‘You cry baby mother f***ers and for any other hunters who wanna talk s**t saying it looks bad, he said, ‘we’ll [sic] fucking shit it does you stupid mother f***ers but mistakes happen.’
The gentleman would go on to proclaim: ‘Mistakes happen big f***ing deal.’
The sheriff’s department, meanwhile, said it has identified Rose as a person of interest in the case, and is now investigating whether she had the proper hunting license.
‘We are looking into that aspect of it but it’s not really clear what the outcome of that investigation will be,’ Lemon said
‘It’s always important to be certain of the animal you’re going to harvest,’ the wildlife official added.
