[RC] Changes to HPA - Soli Sorokin

Due to the step-up in enforcment by the USDA at walking horse shows,
the cleverly named "Horse Protection Society" (comprised of trainers
and owners that have been disqualified for soring and those that
support the Big Lick industry) have proposed changes to the Horse
Protection Act, that basically water it down so thoroughly that
anything but open sores and inflammation would be ok.

Even if you do not live in these states, I'd ask that you write these
senators and voice your support for the USDA and your opposition to
the changes. You can view more links to the proposed changes and
information for contacting both senators at this forum thread:

Both senators have already apparently spoken out FOR these changes,
but they aren't horse people, and need to hear from those outside the
Big Lick industry.
