The issue started when a permittee abandoned cattle on the Redstone Allotment, according to the Decision Memo, copied to the project folder with other documents.
That happened in the 1970s according to remarks at the bottom of page two in the Response to Comments.
Scroll down to the documents section and click on the Decision folder to access these files.
Western Horse Watchers has been unable to find any news reports covering the killings, which were to start on February 23.
The Center for Biological Diversity, instigator of the Apache “Jumping Mouse” horse removal, supports this effort.
