Sierra Club renewing legal battle over aquifer AUSTIN (AP) Plummeting levels in the underground aquifer that supplies Texas' largest springs have prompted the Sierra Club to warn a state and a federal agency it will sue to protect endangered fish and other wildlife. Texas' relentless drought and punishing heat wave have limited recharge to the Edwards Aquifet, which underlies nine Central Texas counties and supplies all of San Antonio's municipal water. The U.S.

Fish' and Wildlife Service, assigned to protect endangered wildlife in Comal and San Marcos Springs, has failed to put a recovery plan in place for the species, said Stuart Henry, a Sierra Club lawyer. He said the Edwards Aquifer Authority has failed to restrict well pumping to ensure adequate spring flows. "The authority has had ample time to prevent the taking and jeopardizing of endangered species, and it has not done so," Henry told the Austin AmericanStatesman in Saturday's editions. "I just think that's flat irresponsible." The environmental group sent formal notices to both agencies. Under the Endangered Species Act, 60 days' notice is required before a lawsuit can be filed in federal court.

Trio gets jail time for stoning dog HARLINGEN (AP) Three Harlingen men convicted of stoning a dog have been sentenced to four months in jail, following a national outcry from animal rights groups demanding tough punishment. Cameron County Court at Law Judge Migdalia Lopez also sentenced 17-year-old Adrian Adame, 21-year-old Juan Garcia, and 20-year-old Gerardo Zamora 10 a one-year probated jail term, drug counseling and 100 hours of community service. Animal rights activists, who had urged strong justice, applauded the sentences. "They believe you pose a threat to your fellow human beings," the judge told the men, referring to a group of a dozen animal rights advocates in the courtroom. "All life is sacred, human or not.

"They remind this court of the link between human cruelty and animal cruelty." Denise Porter, whose campaign prompted thousands of people around the world to send letters to the judge, called the sentences a victory for animal lovers. "It takes people making their voices heard, and that's what we did." Porter told the Valley Morning Star. "I think it's progress. (The judge) understood the link between animal and human cruelty, and that's what this case was all about." Animal cruelty too often leads to human violence, clinical psychologist Lynette Hesict told the newspaper. Many serial killers started out torturing animals, Heslet noted.

"The next time dogs don't give them a thrill, it will be (humans)," Heslet said. "The first time, they got a thrill; the second time, there's no more thrill, so they go on to something bigger." Last year, Cameron County juvenile authorities placed two boys accused in the case under: a form of probation known as deferred prosecution..
