ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A federal judge on Monday denied the state of Alaska’s request to kill wolves, a step it said was needed to protect a caribou herd on an island in the Aleutian chain that is a subsistence food source for people there.
U.S. District Judge H. Russel Holland said that while sympathetic to the state’s argument, he had to abide by federal law.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service argued it is bound by certain environmental laws that must be considered, and that takes time.
