RENO, Nev. — Horse-protection advocates have claimed a rare legal victory as part of a larger effort to end federal roundups of free-roaming mustangs on public lands in the western U.S.
A federal judge in Sacramento ruled Wednesday that In Defense of Animals and others can move ahead with their suit accusing the Bureau of Land Management of violating U.S. laws that protect the animals on the range. Judge Morrison England Jr. denied BLM’s motion to dismiss the suit and said if he finds the roundups illegal, he can order the horses returned to the range.
