Carson Now Explains: How wild horses lost their ‘wild' designation, and with it, their rights to water (carsonnow.org) — A long-running legal and bureaucratic loophole has left Virginia Range wild horses classified as “feral livestock,” stripping them of wildlife protections and water access even as development and fencing spread across Carson City, Storey and Washoe counties. Recent federal approval for 14 miles of new fencing, granted without public comment, has sparked protests at the Legislature in Carson City and intensified questions about where the herds can safely find water.
