Makah whaling foes back in court
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2002
Opponents of a Washington tribe's whale hunt were back in court on Monday.
Animal-rights activists claim the Makah Nation's hunt violates environmental law. They sued the National Marine Fisheries Service.
In August, a federal judge dismissed the suit. The activists appealed to the Ninth Circuit.
