US judge in Nevada hands wild horse advocates rare victory in ruling on mustang management plans
==========
A US District Court Judge in Nevada has ruled that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) failed to adopt a legal herd management plan or conduct the necessary environmental review before 31 mustangs died during a roundup of more than 2,000 horses in Nevada last summer. The judge ordered the BLM to complete a formal herd management plan for the Pancake complex in eastern Nevada by March 24, 2025, and to reopen an environmental assessment to include the potential impact of roundups on wildfire risks. The ruling sets a precedent that will provide more protection for mustangs roaming federal lands in the West. The BLM is reviewing the ruling but has no immediate comment.
