Reno, Nev. • A group that advocates for protection of wild horses says a federal agency didn’t provide adequate notice of a weeks-long roundup planned to begin Monday in eastern Nevada and western Utah and is asking for a postponement.
The American Wild Horse Campaign said in a statement Friday that the Bureau of Land Management was violating the public's First Amendment rights by not announcing the helicopter-assisted roundup until Thursday afternoon and by not allowing public observation of the roundup from horses in the Eagle Complex near Pioche, Nevada, until starting the second day.
