I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who donated money for food for the coyotes. I was able to buy chicken and beef at a good price. I am so grateful for your support. I remember when I started working with coyotes in 1987. At that time no one would have cared about them having food. Things really have changed since then.
Our goal this year is to change our licensing. We want to become USDA APHIS licensed. This would remove the coyotes from under the control of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. They continue to change their rules, which puts the coyotes in jeopardy. I tried to get them to add a Sanctuary License to their list of permits. That has not worked out.
To become USDA licensed we need to build a perimeter fence. The expected cost for that will be about $6,000. We need your help to build the fence. Please help if you can.
This year, Indiana Coyote Rescue is still partnered with Ban Live Bait Dog Training. We have two petitions submitted to the IDNR for Administrative Rule changes. One is to disallow running pens in Indiana. The running pens are where “kill” dogs are trained to kill foxes and coyotes in the wild. The foxes and coyotes are in a pen with no chance of escape, and sometimes are intentionally injured to make it easier for the dogs. The second is to stop the “kill” dogs from tearing apart our precious wildlife in the wild.
Please comment on these petitions before the NRC meeting on March 16. Make your feelings known to jkane[at]nrc.in.gov or sjensen@nrc.in.gov. If you would like to attend the meeting, please get in touch with me for place and time. That is in the process of being changed. ceannicrc[at]yahoo.com
Thank you for your help in helping coyotes one coyote at a time.
