Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit September 24, 2002, Nos. 01-15159, 01-15216, 01-15321 (National Audubon Society, Inc. v. Davis)

OPINION

WILLIAM A. FLETCHER, Circuit Judge.

This case pits bird-lovers, seeking to protect endangered and threatened species, against fox-lovers, seeking to protect predators from inhumane traps. The action is a challenge to Proposition 4, adopted by California voters in November 1998 to protect wildlife and domestic pets by restricting use of certain kinds of traps.
