Indiana Sportsmen: Please Contact Governor Daniels and NRC Members – Anti-Hunting Radicals Trying to Close Dog Training and Field Trialing Areas!

Wednesday, March 24, 2010

The well-funded Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is up to its old tricks again. With the potential help of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, HSUS is once again attacking Indiana’s hunters by attempting to shutdown dog training and field trialing across the State!

A rule change has been presented to the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) to close all coyote and fox training and field trialing areas
based on emotional, politically-charged complaints against fenced training facilities. Dog owners in the state report that the NRC has refused to consult with the very sportsmen whose way of life is being threatened by this proposed rule change.

Governor Mitch Daniels (R) and the NRC need to hear from Indiana Sportsmen in support of keeping the dog training facilities open!
  Rest assured that a win by the anti-hunting radicals like HSUS on this issue will embolden them to take future steps in the future toward their ultimate goal of banning all hunting.  Hunters must stand united against this brazen attempt to ban a traditional hunting practice.  The NRC should know better than to allow emotion and politics to dictate rules in the Hoosier State!

Please contact Governor Daniels and the members of the Natural Resources Commission TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose this rule change!  Governor Daniels can be reached by phone at
317-232-4567 or visit http://www.in.gov/gov/2631.htm to send email.  Contact information for the NRC and a list of members can be found below.
