BLM begins historic operation to gather Colorado wild horses, activists want it stopped

CRAIG, Colo. (KRDO) -- This week, the Bureau of Land Management began the largest operation in state history to gather wild horses in northwestern Colorado.

However, animal activists want the roundup to stop. Our sister station 9News shares the wild horse's roundup story above.
