- Court Dismisses Case Seeking Nationwide Lead Ammunition Ban On May 23, 2013, U.S. federal District Court Judge Emmett Sullivan dismissed a case filed by the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and others, that sought to force the Environmental Protection Agency to adopt rules to ban lead ammunition throughout the U.S. The Plaintiffs brought suit under the Toxic Control Substances Act (TSCA). The EPA filed a motion to dismiss CBD?s Complaint on procedural grounds. SCI, together with the NRA, intervened in the case and filed their own motion to dismiss, as did NSSF and the Association of Battery Recyclers. After listening to oral argument, Judge Sullivan dismissed CBD?s claims, finding that the Plaintiffs had failed to comply with TSCA?s requirements for submitting a rulemaking petition. This is CBD?s second failed litigation attempt to ban lead ammunition nationwide.

- In a court filing, the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced that they will be pushing back the decision on removing the gray wolf from its protected status. The move to delist the species was revealed late last month when the LA Times obtained a document from the USFWS that suggests wolf management could be handed over to individual states. At the time it was expected that the final decision could come as early as the end of May, but according to Associated Press, government attorneys appeared in court on Monday stating that ?a recent unexpected delay? will be holding up the action indefinitely. For now, no other explanation was given.Nationwide Wolf Delisting Postponed Indefinitelywww.outdoorhub.comHunting News Nationwide Wolf Delisting Postponed Indefinitely Daniel Xu + View ProfileSubscribeFacebookTwitterWebsite | May 21, 2013 | | FacebookTwitterRedditPinterestStumbleuponEmail this postThere are now roughly 6,000 gray wolves in the lower 48 states.In a court filing, the U.S Fish and Wildlife...
