A lawsuit, by a non-profit organization is moving forward, now that the California Superior Court denied Monterey County’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit. The lawsuit claims that Monterey county failed to analyze environmental impacts, and wrongly claimed an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act when it renewed a contract with the U.S. Department Of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services to kill wild animals to protect livestock. Over the last 6 years, Wildlife Services has killed more than 3-thousand of those critters in Monterey county alone.
