Groups sue for endangered species act status for wolverines
ESA suit on wolverines-
The Bush//Kemphthorne Interior Dept. of course rejected the petition to list the wolverine. The evidence is that the decision was made at high levels of Interior, not at the scientific level. Is anyone surprised?
So sue the bastards again.
