Thanks a million, ewest. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. The wild animals vs. domestic stock issue is especially interesting. I would think, that if your pond resides solely within the boundaries of your own property, and is not fed by any body of water owned by another individual, or the state, that the animals within that pond could be considered domestic stock. Especially if they were on a feeding program. However my grasp of Indiana's legal system, and it's interpretations, leaves a lot to be desired.
As far as damages caused by escaped fish, I agree that anger and aggravation wouldn't count for much. But I sure wouldn't want to be the guy that allowed some of my fish to escape through an unprotected spillpipe into the brood pond of a local fish hatchery, or how about a few female BG introduced into an enthusiast's all male trophy BG pond?
Like you stated, lots of questions. Thanks again.
