Conservation groups file lawsuit to protect endangered killer whales

Conservation groups have teamed up for a legal action aimed at protecting endangered southern resident killer whales.
The groups said Wednesday that the federal government failed to recommend an emergency order to protect the whales under the Species at Risk Act. They want a Federal Court to review that decision.
Margot Venton, a lawyer and nature program director at Ecojustice, said they want the court to force cabinet ministers to address imminent threats to the whales with an emergency order
