RE: COYOTE-RELATED RULE CHANGE PROPOSALS

Thank you for considering public opinion about a proposed rule change that stipulates live coyotes may not be “sold, traded, bartered or gifted.” I strongly urge Indiana Natural Resources Commission to permanently ban the sale of trapped wildlife as bait for dog runners.

I understand present law permits commerce in live coyotes for use in training drills with “hunting” dogs. To inflict fear, mutilation, and death under the guise of “sport” is grotesque.

I trust NRC will evaluate the cruelty inherent in live-bait dog training, rather than base its decision on hunting revenue. I support NRC’s rule change and an end to this repugnant practice.

Thank you,
