Located at the southwest corner of the Virginia Range, the barrier will increase public safety and protect wild horses from harmful human interactions according to a report by KOLO News but the advocates say it will separate them from a key water source.
Details about the project have been kept under wraps.
NDA shared a map with the reporter and the advocates but not with the public.
Western Horse Watchers was unable to find an announcement at the NDA news page.
The article said the plan will be discussed on December 6, probably at the next regular meeting of the Nevada Board of Agriculture, but as of today no agenda has been posted.
The third quarter meeting was cancelled.
The dispute over the fence marks the latest chapter in the lover’s quarrel between NDA and the Campaign Against America’s Wild Horses, the NGO “hired” by NDA to sterilize the Virginia Range mares.
