CALIFORNIA ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT STILL IN DANGER AFAR has filed a second amicus curiae brief in support of the State Attorney General's position in two related lawsuits, that the California Endangered Species Act is NOT preempted by the Federal Endangered Species Act. The California Act lists several species, including the kangaroo, African elephant, and python, that the Federal law does not. Importers of the products of these animals have repeatedly challenged the California law as being unconstitutional. The AFAR brief argues that Congress clearly expressed its intent that the states be allowed to enact laws giving greater protections to endangered species than that provided under the Federal legislation. The appeal was heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, and a decision is forthcoming. COALITION TO ABOLISH LD50 TOXICITY TEST NEEDS HELP LD50 is the dose of a drug administered to laboratory animals sufficient to kill 50% of them. In October, the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association stated that most drug safety evaluations can be conducted without the LD50 test. AFAR will work with the Coalition, headed by Henry Spira (N.Y.C.) to end the use of LD50.
