Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Dale grants in part environmental groups' motion for summary judgment regarding their challenge of Idaho Senate Bill 1211, which authorizes wolf trapping and snaring in grizzly bear habitat, and which they claim will lead to the unlawful "take" of grizzly bears in violation of the Endangered Species Act. The group seek to enjoin the authorization of recreational wolf trapping and snaring until the state obtains an incidental take permit from the Fish and Wildlife Service. The groups have shown they have standing and provided evidence that lawfully set wolf traps and snares are reasonably likely to take grizzly bears. The state is enjoined from authorizing wolf trapping and snaring in grizzly bear habitat except when it is reasonably certain that almost all grizzly bears will be in dens: December 1 to February 28.
