Group aims to create wild horse sanctuary

BONSALL — An animal rights group that recently brought about 20 wild horses to Bonsall from New Mexico says it plans to bring another 30 horses and wants to create a permanent wild horse sanctuary in the area.
The Wild for Life Foundation, a nonprofit based in Riverside and Los Angeles, brought a group of Mustangs last year after they were caught by state wildlife officials in New Mexico just outside the Navajo Indian reservation.
At the time, the tribe was embroiled in a controversy over its efforts to control and thin the herds of thousands of wild horses that tribal leaders say were overgrazing and damaging lands.
Animal rights advocates, including Wild for Life Foundation founder Katia Louise, said many horses were captured and then sold. Some of them ended up in slaughter houses, activists say.
