A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily banned the U.S. Bureau of Land Management from using helicopters to gather many of the hundreds of mustangs targeted in a roundup already under way about 150 miles northeast of Reno.
U.S. District Judge Howard McKibben granted part of a temporary restraining order sought by horse protection advocates who say the BLM's own rules prohibit helicopter roundups during foaling season. He said he would allow it to continue in the southern half of the Jackson Mountains because BLM has proven an emergency due to drought.
