Wild horse advocates are celebrating the removal of nearly 200 horses from what is described as an abusive situation.More>>
Wild horse advocates took on the Bureau of Land Management during a special meeting Thursday night. The BLM plans to move most of the wild horse herd out of Red Rock Canyon, but wild horse advocates say it is unnecessary and they claim the agency will not repopulate the herd.
Jerry Reynoldson, wild horse advocate, said, "I haven't heard anything to suggest to me they know conclusively they need to remove these horses from Red Rock. They simply want to do that."
Shari Warren, with the National Wild Horse Association, said, "My biggest fear is that they're not going to have enough money next year to put those horses back onto the Red Rock range."
The BLM says it can't move the horses to another range because they are limited by a 1971 act that defines suitable horse ranges in Nevada.
