The Animal Protection Institute filed a lawsuit against the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to ban all trapping in areas where endangered animals live. Joining in that fight now is the U.S. Sportsman’s Alliance, who will side with MDIFW.
It is believed by many, including the USSA that the only goal that organizations like the API has is to use the manipulation of the Endangered Species Act to ban hunting and trapping. A ruling in favor of this ban would set a very disturbing precedent nationwide that could have a devastating effect on hunting and trapping and the economic support these two activities bring.
