The government appears to be doing everything it can to gather the mustangs as humanely as possible, a judge ruled.
Helicopter pilot Rick Harmon of KG Livestock rounds up a group of wild horses during a gathering July 8, 2005 in Eureka, Nevada.
"These tragedies are going to occur when you have gathers, so I cannot find there are inhumane treatments with these incidents," Hicks said. "I'm of the view that was a constitutional violation," Hicks said. "But I'm also of the opinion that is moot. ... It's behind us." "We are discussing with our attorney our options on how to proceed with the underlying complaint to address the lack of enforceable humane standards," she said in an email to The Associated Press."Although the Judge said that our Constitutional Rights to view one of the traps was likely violated, he did not see any necessity to restrain BLM from doing it again," Leigh said.
The agency says the 31 deaths are within the average mortality rate of 1% to 1.2% for wild horse gathers conducted from 2010 to 19.
