Abstract:

A precedent setting decision on waterfowl hunting has been handed down in a US District Court. Previously, an injunction had been filed by seven animal protection groups to prevent the hunting of snow geese, which also charged the Department of the Interior with non-compliance in its responsibilities to protect migratory birds. However, the injunction was denied, reaffirming support for the US Fish and Wildlife Service and its interpretation of the laws and activities.
