Environmental groups are taking the Justice Department to court over a policy
that prohibits prosecuting individuals who kill endangered wildlife unless it
can be proven that they knew they were targeting a protected animal.
This article and action is of great interest. The policy has been part of the
problem with failure to prosecute individuals who kill endangered Whooping
Cranes.
