U.S. Forest Service Seeks Dismissal of Wild Horse Management Case

In a recent legal development, the U.S. Forest Service has requested a U.S. judge to dismiss a lawsuit concerning its management of wild horses in California. The agency claims the case is based on an administrative error regarding the size of a federally protected area for these animals.

The American Wild Horse Conservation (formerly American Wild Horse Preservation), a coalition of conservation groups, filed the lawsuit last year. The suit aims to overturn the agency's 2013 management plan for a federally designated wild horse territory in the Modoc National Forest.
