I support the humane treatment of all animals and the responsible training of horses.” U.S. Senator Mike Crapo, R-Idaho
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, USA, June 24, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ Today, U.S. Sens. Mike Crapo, R-Ida., and Mark Warner, D-Va., reintroduced the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act designed to end the horrific practice of soring Tennessee Walking, Racking, and Spotted Saddle Horses.
Soring is the intentional infliction of pain to horses’ front limbs and feet by means of applying caustic chemicals such as diesel fuel and croton oil to the skin and inserting sharp objects in the soft tissue of the hoof to produce an artificial manufactured gait known as the “big lick,” that’s prized in Tennessee and Kentucky.
