The U-S House of Representatives is moving to stop the Department of the Interior from selling wild horses for slaughter.
A measure passed by representatives prohibits the use of agency funds for the sale or slaughter of wild, free-roaming horses and burros.
In 2004 Congress eased animal protections that had been part of the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act -- Public Law 92-195 -- since its inception in 1971. The changes opened the way for the animals to be made available for slaughter.
There are 32,000 free-roaming wild horses with more than half living in Nevada.
