A federal judge denied an injunction against the National Park Service filed by animal rights groups who are suing over the management of tule elk in the Point Reyes National Seashore. After a hearing last week, Judge Haywood Gilliam of the Northern District of California ruled that the Harvard Animal Law and Policy Clinic did not adequately show that the park is neglecting its duty to prevent the fenced Tomales Point herd from dying of thirst or malnutrition.
“It is fully within your authority to ensure that the elk survive long enough for us to address this case and for the pendency of the litigation,” the clinic’s attorney Kate Barnekow told Judge Gilliam last Friday. “We need this temporary relief to keep the elk alive.”
