Activists are questioning the rising death toll from a controversial government roundup of wild horses in Nevada.
U.S. Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman JoLynn Worley said 77 mustangs involved in the Calico Mountains Complex gather have died. That’s nearly double the 39 horses that had died when the roundup of 1,922 horses concluded on Feb. 5.
Leaders of the horse advocacy group Cloud Foundation, based in Colorado Springs, are pressing the government to deal with the situation.
