Folks,
Kentucky's wildlife needs your help once again. Yesterday, an amendment to HB 470 was proposed and passed that redefines Livestock to include "deer or elk that are privately owned and raised in a confined area for breeding stock, food, fiber, and other products". This amendment was proposed by Senator Vernie McGaha (Casey, Adair, Russell, & Pulaski Counties) and passed out of the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. It may go to the senate floor as early as Monday. KDFWR does not need this bill to pass the Senate intact. Please call Senator McGaha to voice your concern as well as calling your own Senator to request the amendment changing the definition of livestock be removed. KDFWR should retain jurisdiction for regulation of deer and elk in Kentucky.
Please call 1-(800) 372-7181 to leave your Senator a message.
