Lawsuit seeks pygmy rabbit decision
The federal government has failed to make a decision about protecting the rare pygmy rabbit in eight Western states.
Associated Press Writer
The federal government has failed to make a decision about protecting the rare pygmy rabbit in eight Western states.

The Western Watersheds Project lawsuit wants the agency to make its decision on whether to grant endangered species protection to the rare, tiny rabbits. Courts had previously demanded the decision, which is long overdue.
