[RC] Animal Abuse? - apleg8'nHey the biggest and longest stand of Equine Abuse is still going strong in this Country right before everyone's eyes and supported big time. The Humane officials know of it, the Feds know of it and yet for decades it continues. How about trying to stop this? Forget it. I have been involved and now I just have to turn my head and try not to ever look. It is the biggest shame to the horse industry I can think of. I know Truman has also been involved greatly with this. So many people have and yet it goes on and on. Too much $$ to ever get it stopped. Payoffs to the Officials. Generation after Generation growing up in it and it just becomes the "Frog in the Pot" syndrome to those people that have absolutely no conscience about the horrendous pain and suffering these horses endure. Of course I am talking about the Freak Show with the Padded Tennessee Walking Horses. THE BIG LICK. It is not just the Frankenstein weighted shoes they carry, that is the kind part. It is the chemicals smeared into the legs, nails driven up the quick, chains digging into their legs. If you have ever seen the eyes on these poor horses it will tell you all. Then look at the rear ends of them tucked so far underneath themselves trying to aleviate the horrendous pain. Now this is where you should be sending your protests to. This goes on daily, not just once a year. The riders have no danger. And the abuse these horses suffer after the soring to behave when the inspectors come around is as bad as the soring itself. Sickening is too nice of a word for this barbaric "Showing" amber rackinfool www.applegaitnendurancehorses.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
