Fort Polk Horses to be Rounded Up

The United States Fifth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of an animal-rights group's lawsuit that was intended to bar the proposed roundup of horses running free on Fort Polk in the Kisatchie National Forest, reports The Advocate. The decision upheld the determination of District Judge A.J. McNamara who held that the horses were not "wild" and therefore protected by the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971.
