The federal judge wasn’t happy, but apparently thought his contempt of court citation might bring the Forest Service around (a little bit).

Fantastic, here are the ground rules: No personal attacks, profanity, discriminatory language or threats. Keep it clean, civil and on topic. The Wildlife News does not fact check every comment but, when noticed, submissions containing clear misinformation, demonstrably false statements of fact or links to sites trafficking in such will not be posted.
