A judge has left open the option for injunctive relief in a case filed against the Bureau of Land Management over an incident in which the skids of a helicopter purportedly touched a wild horse.
Last week, Judge Howard McKibben ordered that the motion for injunctive relief in wild horse advocate Laura Leigh's case against Interior Secretary Ken Salazar addressing "humane treatment" be answered.
The case centres on alleged inhumane conduct at bureau roundups.
Late in August, the parties met in a federal courtroom in Reno Nevada.
Judge McKibben granted Leigh a temporary restraining order over pilot conduct at the Triple B roundup in Eastern Nevada on August 11.
Included in documentation shown to the court was video footage taken by Leigh that was purported to show a bureau-contracted helicopter pilot coming into contact with a horse with his aircraft.
At the hearing for the temporary restraining order, Judge McKibben left the matter for injunctive relief open, saying that the ruling would stand identical unless new information was presented to the Court.
The complaint itself is left active.
