An animal advocacy group is calling for changes to the federal government’s wild horse wrangling operations after a roundup in Nevada left multiple stallions, mares and foals injured or dead
Wild Horse Education wants the use of helicopters to corral the horses to be outlawed and released video it said shows wild horses running from US Bureau of Land Management helicopters during the roundup. One video also shows what the group describes as a mare ending up with a broken neck after it is chased by a helicopter in extreme heat. The video shows the mare’s head jerking suddenly to the side as it is corralled, followed by the animal flailing and eventually unable to stand.
The bureau’s Elko District began two gathers in the Antelope Complex on July 9 and said it plans to gather and remove up to 3,107 excess wild horses. “The purpose of the gather is to prevent undue or unnecessary degradation of the public lands associated with excess wild horses and to restore a thriving natural ecological balance,” the bureau’s website states. The removed horses are put up for adoption or placed in off-range pastures, the bureau said.
