RENO, Nev. (AP) - A federal judge in Nevada has rejected another
attempt by horse protection advocates to block government roundups
of free-roaming mustangs in the West. The judge granted a temporary
restraining order last fall that cut short a Nevada roundup after
he determined a helicopter flew too close to a horse in violation
of the law. But he said at a hearing in Reno yesterday he denied a
new injunction request partly because the BLM has made some
positive changes since then.
