Ninth Circuit Hears Arguments in Big Summit Appeal

Attorneys for the Forest Service and Central Oregon Wild Horse Coalition appeared today before a three-member panel regarding a plan to remove at least half of the wild horses in the Big Summit WHT.

The plaintiffs claim that the range can support a much higher population than the government admits.

A story by Courthouse News Service said the court did not indicate when it would rule.

The Forest Service recently started work on a new facility that would hold wild horses removed from the area.
