U.S. land managers have announced plans to round up more than 2,800 wild horses across four Nevada counties starting next week, in response to the overtaxed rangelands. The Bureau of Land Management's (@BLMNational) proposal has been met with criticism from Representative Dina Titus, who described the plan as deeply troubling. Titus highlighted concerns over the increased use of helicopters and the housing of horses in cramped pens, which could result in hundreds of deaths for these iconic creatures. She has urged the BLM to reconsider their approach to managing the wild horse population.
