twitterInvestigators find three more wild horses shot to death near Vegas
Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2000 | 10:08 a.m.
Three more wild horses have been found dead in a scenic area northwest of here, bringing the total horses and burros found shot to death in the area to nine.
Federal investigators said a veterinarian confirmed that the three horses were shot to death about the same time as the others.
The latest horses were found badly decomposed over the weekend by U.S. Forest Service investigators looking into the killings in a scenic area near Mount Charleston, about 40 miles from Las Vegas.
A reward fund has been established and investigators are asking for anyone with information about the shootings to contact them.
Under a 1971 federal law, anyone convicted of killing a wild horse or burro is subject to a fine up to $2,000 and/or jail time.
