A Vancouver-based conservation group is slamming the efforts of California farmers to get the killer whales that ply the waters between the U.S. and B.C. taken off the endangered species list.
The Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF), a law firm acting on behalf of two large California farms, has filed a “de-listing petition” calling on the U.S. government to end protection of southern resident killer whales under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
