PHOENIX — An organization comprised of conservationists, environmentalists and birders sued the U.S. Forest Service Thursday, claiming that the organization failed to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act in regard to the horses that live in the Lower Salt River Recreation Area.
There are approximately 600 horses in the area that can only support 28 to 44 horses, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit notes that horses moved into the area in the late 1970s after the Tonto National Forest ended a grazing operation that involved 12 cows"because of inadequate forage and damage to the riparian area."
Due to the agency not fulfilling its requirements, the lawsuit claims that there is now"severe ongoing harm" to the area and the wildlife that inhabits it. The Center for Biological Diversity is joined in the lawsuit by Maricopa Audubon Society, Arizona Wildlife Federation, Arizona Deer Association, Arizona Bighorn Sheep Society and Arizona Sportsmen for Conservation.The Salt River Wild Horse Management Group sent a release following the announcement of the lawsuit, claiming that the Center for Biological Diversity"aims to halt humane management" of the horses.
