Guardian Public Editor Responds With Fix to Wild Horse Article

The Guardian replaced the above photograph, which was captioned "Overcrowding on the frontiers of the American west could lead to a depletion of natural resources for wild horses" but turned out to be a photograph of horses at the rapa das bestas in Sabucedo, Spain.

An article about wild horses — “Why you really should (but really can’t) eat horse meat” — published January 9, 2015, in the Guardian was revised today in response to a January 31 reader email pointing out errors in one of the article’s main photographs and its accompanying caption.

The Daily Pitchfork thanks the Guardian for correcting the photo and its accompanying footnote: “This article was amended on 4 February 2015. The story originally included a photograph of wild horses in Sabucedo, Spain. It has been removed.” 

Other errors in the article also pointed out to the Guardian have been forwarded by the public editor to the reporter, Caty Enders, for her review. Stay tuned.
