Jan 25: 27 horses captured on Sunday

We arrived at the trap site today, Monday, and were told by Alan Shepherd, Nevada lead for Wild Horse & Burro program, that the roundup had been canceled due to weather conditions. We requested that we be allowed to observe the roundup on Tuesday (especially considering today's cancellation). Mr. Shepherd said that would not be allowed and indicated that the Nevada and Washington DC offices "had decided" that the public would be restricted to observation of the government operation to a few hours on three days a week. See video below of Don Glenn, director of the Wild Horse & Burro, who heads up the Washington office state the public would be provided full access to observe roundups.
