11 horses die in a 'barbaric' roundup in Nevada caught on video that shows animals with broken necks and a stallion with a snapped rear leg chased by a helicopter and horseback rider as it tried to flee on three legs.
Leigh, who's been fighting roundups in court for more than a decade and advocates ending them altogether, said the contracted wranglers were trying to pressure the mustangs into the temporary trap coral when the horse leaped out and broke the leg.
But the agency has resisted efforts to stop using helicopters, saying they're necessary to access remote herds. The bureau says its latest roundup started July 9 in eastern Nevada between Elko and Ely because overpopulated herds are seriously damaging the ecology of the range. But critics say the real purpose is to appease ranchers who don't want horses competing with their livestock for precious, high-desert forage where annual precipitation averages less than 10 inches.is publicizing the graphic photos and video shot by Leigh and others"to educate the public about the BLM's inhumane approach to wild horse management," group spokeswoman Grace Kuhn said.
