horse roundup in the Pryor Mountains of northern Wyoming because they fear the animals will end up being euthanized.
But a federal official said killing the horses is not part of the plan.
The Billings, Mont., Bureau of Land Management field office has
proposed gathering 38 wild horses from the Pryor Mountain herd.
The proposal came at a time when a bureau advisory board in
Nevada proposed euthanizing wild horses as a strategy to cope with
the cost of placing captured horses in long-term care when they
were not adopted.
BLM field manager Jim Spark says the agency plans to put the
Pryor horses up for adoption.
He says the bureau has never had trouble finding homes for Pryor
horses.
