Hundreds of horses will be gathered and removed from the Palomino Buttes Herd Management Area in eastern Oregon, due to extreme drought and overpopulation as the animals lack adequate food and water. Ideally, 32 to 64 horses would live in the area, so 220 to 430 horses will be removed from the rangeland. KTVZ-TV NewsChannel 21 (Bend, Ore.), Aug 31, 2021
