摘要

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to abandon a successful program of releasing captive red wolves into the wild is putting the animals at risk of extinction, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in a North Carolina federal court.The agency's action violates the Endangered Species Act and goes against its duty to provide for the conservation of the species, wildlife and animal groups say in their lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
