Earlier today, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals granted our motion to dismiss an appeal by the Exotic Wildlife Association challenging a decision issued last year by Judge Henry Kennedy of the U.S. District Court for D.C. that held unlawful a Fish and Wildlife Service regulation that allowed the “canned hunting” of captive members of three antelope species that are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. We represented a coalition of conservation and animal protection groups and individuals in the challenge to the rule, and successfully argued that the rule violated the requirements of Section 10 of the ESA.
