An animal rights organization has filed a lawsuit against the federal Fish and Wildlife Service over a new rule requiring references to hunting in the design submissions for its traditional duck stamp contest. Duck stamps are a $25 license to hunt waterfowl with origins dating back to the Great Depression. Under federal laws, anyone over the age of 16 who wants to hunt waterfowl must purchase a stamp. Most of that money goes toward conservation efforts for the birds, and as a result, the stamps have also become popular with birdwatchers and other non-hunters.
