RENO, Nev. — Federal inspectors are recommending that the Bureau of Land Management step up its research into population-control methods for wild horses to help curb the spiraling costs of rounding them up.
A report the Interior Department’s inspector general issued Monday mostly defends the BLM roundups, which are often criticized by horse-protection advocates.
Inspectors say they found no evidence of inhumane treatment of animals and concluded the roundups are necessary to cull the overpopulated herds that take a toll on the health of the range.
