In spite of the WFC philosophy, these lawsuits, as I understand them, derive from procedural errors on the part of WDFW and the Feds and will not eliminate hatcheries. They will just require the hatcheries to operate under existing law.

Kinda like getting pulled over for doing 10mph over the limit - your license won't be revoked nor will you be sent to prison, but it will cost you some money.
