A Judge in Nevada has allowed the US government to continue capturing wild horses despite the deaths of 31 horses during the roundup. Wild Horse advocates had argued that the roundup was inhumane and illegal, but the judge ruled that there was no evidence to support halting the process. While the judge agreed that the advocates were illegally denied access to observe one of the mustang traps, he deemed it moot as the roundup in that area was complete. Government lawyers stated that the deaths were unfortunate but expected, as the free-roaming horses pose a threat to public rangeland.
