The Navajo Nation says it will end its wild horse roundups and reverse its public support for a return to domestic horse slaughter following talks with former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.
Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly said Tuesday that he met with Richardson over the weekend and they agreed to work together to find more long-term and humane solutions to the horse overpopulation problem.
Richardson and actor Robert Redford created the Foundation to Protect New Mexico Wildlife this summer to fight efforts by a Roswell, N.M., company and others to slaughter horses.
