Another Bundy standoff possible as groups call for US to seize livestock

Coalition of wildlife groups write to US Bureau of Land Management asking them to remove Cliven Bundy's cattle from federal land in Nevada

Environmental groups have called on the government to round up Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy's cattle with a mass seizure of livestock that some fear could lead to a tense standoff between armed militia groups and federal authorities.

A coalition of wildlife organizations wrote to the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on Monday urging the agency to remove Bundy's cattle in the Gold Butte area of Nevada, where the 70-year-old has for years allowed his cows to graze freely on public lands in defiance of federal land-use restrictions.
