Fish hatchery caused osprey breeding population collapse along 20 miles of the Yellowstone River

Earthjustice, representing Yellowstone Valley Audubon Society, sued the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for allowing the state of Montana to shoot and kill migratory birds at the Miles City Fish Hatchery along the Yellowstone River. The federal lawsuit, filed in the Montana District Court, charges FWS with unlawfully allowing Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, which runs the hatchery, to kill birds in order to limit their consumption of non-native bass.

Matt Vespa, Attorney, Clean Energy Program, Earthjustice: “This program is funneling billions of dollars to polluting biofuels that drive deforestation and food insecurity when those dollars could be spent on accelerating deployment of electric vehicles that will improve our air.”

Patrice Simms, VP of Litigation, Earthjustice: “This long-overdue action is a game changer in the fight against lead exposure, a silent threat that endangers lives at even the smallest trace.”
