Motion to Bar Wolf Hunts Denied
August 26, 2011
A federal appeals court on Thursday denied a request by animal activist groups to halt wolf hunts that are scheduled to begin next week in Idaho and Montana.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the request by the groups that were seeking to cancel the hunts while the court considers a challenge to congressional action in April that removed wolves from federal protection in Montana and Idaho and in parts of Washington, Oregon and Utah.
Wolf hunts are scheduled to begin Aug. 30 in Idaho and Sept. 3 in Montana.
