Federal Court Ruling on Dolphin-safe Tuna Will Stand
Environment News Service, August, 2007
SAN FRANCISCO, California (ENS) — --> The Bush administration will not go to the Supreme Court in an attempt to overturn a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals order prohibiting the weakening of the Dolphin-Safe tuna label.
The deadline for a Supreme Court appeal has passed, said Earth Island Institute's International Marine Mammal Project, IMMP, which has been advocating and litigating on behalf of dolphin-safe tuna for years.
"At long last the Dolphin Safe label for tuna is safe from the Bush administration's legal attack," said IMMP director David Phillips.
"After six years of litigation, the administration has realized it must follow the law and cease efforts to allow dolphin-deadly tuna from Mexico onto U.S. supermarket shelves."
