Indiana NRC Proposes Moratorium On Dog Training and Field Trialing Enclosures
The Indiana Natural Resources Commission (NRC) has proposed a rule that would put a moratorium on the licensing of new fox and coyote enclosures meant for dog training and field trialing.
Essentially, the proposed rule would act as an outright ban on new facilities as it prohibits the Division of Natural Resources from licensing any new fox and coyote enclosures after January 1, 2012.
Sportsmen and sporting dog owners have been working with the Division of Natural Resources on proposed rules that would ensure that existing and new enclosures within the state are held to a high standard while continuing to allow for the safe trialing and training of sporting dogs.
Sportsmen and sporting dog owners should contact both the NRC and the Governor’s office and ask them to oppose the moratorium on the fox and coyote training enclosures. Tell them a moratorium on licensing the enclosures is unnecessary. The new rules governing the enclosures will more than adequately ensure that the training and trialing grounds are operated at levels that more than adequately protect both the dogs and the game they pursue.
Public comments concerning the enclosures will be accepted by the NRC through the end of March. However, sportsmen should plan to write the NRC as soon as possible.
