U.S. to Study Hunt’s Effect on Swans
From Times Wire Reports
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will reconsider its decision to let hunters shoot a limited number of trumpeter swans during an annual hunt for tundra swans.
The agency said it would conduct an environmental study to determine whether hunting might harm the trumpeter swan flock that lives in a bird refuge on the northern end of the Great Salt Lake.
The decision settled a lawsuit contending that the flock is endangered and needs special protection.
