RENO, Nev. (AP) — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is investigating the shooting deaths of nearly a dozen wild horses in four separate incidents in California and Nevada since the beginning of the year.
The agency announced a $10,000 reward Monday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the shooter or shooters.
The most recent killings involved one horse and two burros on BLM land near Black Rock Canyon in Pershing County about 150 miles northeast of Reno. They were discovered April 9.
Five days earlier, two wild horses were found shot to death in Lassen County, Calif., near the Nevada line.
