The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is proposing to remove 402 of the estimated 482 of the High Rock Herd Management Area in Washoe County, NV, citing "lack of forage and available water." Yet, the environmental assessment states that "the canyons are relatively well-watered." The BLM is working with the Department of Wildlife to permanently re-route the horses’ water to "water developments" for big game and cattle. The absolute minimum estimated cost of this round-up and annual containment of the captured horses is $203,000.00.
