Animal rights activists appealed last month`s court victory protecting trappers rights in Maine. On December 4th they appealed the decision. Animal rights activists are misusing the (ESA) Endangered Species Act as a way to stop all hunting, fishing and trapping.
The case was originally filed in 2008 by the Animal Welfare Institute and the Wildlife Alliance of Maine against the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
On November 10th the injunction that was sought by the anti`s was denied by Judge John A. Woodcock. The anti`s also stated that they will hire a new law firm to represent them.
