USA: BLM faces new lawsuit to stop proposed wild horse roundup

February 4, 2010

The shocking cruelty with which 1900 wild mustangs have been forcibly removed from their native habitat in Nevada's Calico Mountains by the BLM is the inspiration for a pending lawsuit to be filed against the agency by In Defense of Animals (IDA), a California-based international animal protection organization.

IDA announced today that it has retained the national law firm of Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney to sue to "stop the BLM's planned roundup of nearly 500 wild horses living in the Eagle Herd Management Area in Eastern Nevada." According to IDA, the scheduled roundup "would leave just 100 horses behind to roam over 670,000 acres of public land."...
