TVA v. Hill- Multimillion dollar damn was under construction in the Trinity River Valley. A population of snail darter fish were found in the running water in the area of the damn. When the Endangered Species Act was pasted in 1973, the construction on the damn was halted. The Courts ruled in favor of Hill (the snail darter). But the next year, congress wrote an exception in the law allowing the damn to be constructed. The snail darters died.Are there any law cases dealing withe the species conservation act?
I will bet there are a ton of them, any time someone wants to build a mall or Walmart on open land it is affecting the lives of certain species, some of which may be listed.
:Hydro powerplants and Salmon would be one.
:Gray Wolves, Polar bears, everything under the sea and drilling in Alaska
: Remember the Spotted Owl fiasco?
