Dangerous Wild Animals
The Department of Natural resources announced on April 4, 2011 that key
stakeholders from across the state would be involved in the development of
policies and procedures regarding ownership, sale and transfer of dangerous wild
animals in the state of Ohio.
Outreach to stakeholders is taking place at the request of Governor John R.
Kasich who supports the regulation of dangerous wild animals to ensure the
public’s safety and animals’ humane treatment. He also believes any new
regulations should be developed in a transparent way with input from the public
and those who have interests at stake.
The Kasich administration initiated this process because of the April 6
expiration of the previous administration’s Executive Order 2010-17S and
Emergency Administrative rule 1501:31-19-5, banning the "possession, sale, and
transfer."
Please share your comments with us about dangerous wild animals. Updates about
the regulation of dangerous wild animals will be posted
on this page.
