The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is removing 150 wild horses from the Fish Lake Valley Herd Management Area (HMA) in Tonopah District. Wild Horse Education (WHE) did a pre-roundup survey of the area. Our concern is that even if BLM removes distressed animals from the area, within months the identical situation will arise. Movement of horses from Forest Service Land and the adjoining Carson District may simply fill the void left by the removal. (Updated aug 23: BLM stopped at 122 in Fish Lake. 2 euthanized, one released that the community knows well. All others shipped to Ridgecrest. note: this could have been bad as many horses were in declining condition yet BLM reports that all but two were in condition to ship). *Fish Lake Update and Other News: bit.ly/16vrjlj
