Nevada's Wild Horse Roundup Faces Legal ScrutinyNevada's Wild Horse Roundup Faces Legal Scrutiny

This week, a federal judge in Nevada will hear arguments regarding the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) roundups of wild Mustangs. Wild Horse Education is the advocacy group fighting to change this practice. Laura Leigh, founder of the group, has videotaped thousands of hours of footage showing abuse at these roundups. The BLM has admitted that electric prods were used, but within the pre-established guidelines. What will this week's hearing mean for the future of Mustangs?

Guests

  • Laura Leigh, president of Wild Horse Education
  • Pete Goicoechea, Republican, District 19 Nevada State Senate
