That gathering operation started last Friday, in an area south of Rangely, in northwestern Colorado. The federal Bureau of Land Management says the reason that land isn\u2019t supposed to have horses on it, is because there\u2019s not enough food or water to support them. So, the BLM flies helicopters toward the horses, to drive them into corrals. Then, the animals go to a Canon (canyon) City facility to be adopted. Last year, a flu outbreak there killed more than a hundred horses. Advocacy groups say roundups like that are inhumane, and illegal. But last month, a federal judge ruled there just wasn\u2019t enough evidence to stop them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
