FILE - In this June 28, 2002, file photo, a helicopter used by the Bureau of Land Management rounds up wild horses near Cold Creek, Nev. An animal protection group asked a federal judge Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2009, to block a plan to round up about 2,500 wild horses to remove them from a Nevada range. The mustang roundup planned for Dec. 28 would be one of the largest in Nevada in recent years. Federal officials plan to use helicopters to force the horses into holding pens before placing them for adoption or sending them to long-term holding corrals in the Midwest.
