Government delays decision on killing wild horses in Nevada
The U S Bureau of Land Management will round up fewer wild horses and transfer funds within the agency to delay large scale killings. Deputy Director Henri Bisson says the goal is to keep the program running another year while exploring solutions with stakeholders. About 33,000 wild horses roam the western states, with half in Nevada, and the BLM aims to manage by culling through adoption and long term holding. The Government Accountability Office projects costs rising from 27 to 77 million over years, prompting calls to find 15 to 20 million elsewhere to sustain the program.
