Animal Rights Groups Appeal Ruling on Maine Lynx Lawsuit

When a federal judge ruled in favor of trappers in the Maine lynx lawsuit last month, there was no doubt that the animal rights groups would be back to contest the case.

I just didn’t think it would happen so soon.

Just last Thursday, the Wildlife Alliance of Maine and the Animal Welfare Institute filed an appeal to the decision in the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.

Read more background on the lynx lawsuit, and read the Bangor Daily News story on the appeal.  It’s always interesting to read the comments on the Bangor Daily News articles as well.

We’ll keep you posted on how things go.
