    Hate seeing the way we can hurt an animal just for the sport/entertainment of it ! People might say "well what about racing? what about this or that"? Show me what's going on and I'll write my Congressmen about THAT too if the animal is suffering. I've done so in the meat industry as well. No Cruelty To Animals ! NO SORING !!!

    All animals deserve to live a happy life. End this abuse. It's time for humans to realize the natural beauty and wonders of and on this earth and to stop trying to control it.

    Please pass this this bill and end the abuse and suffering of these animals. Bring this bill to the floor for a vote. It is unconscionable that congress could condone the practice of soring.

    I am against the entire practice of Tennessee Walking horses. This style of competition is cruel and not humane. Stop now!

    End this practice of cruelty immediately. Common decency should dictate ending this practice but the practitioners fail the test. So now it becomes necessary to involve law makers to make this illegal, so be it. Hit them where they will understand it, in their wallets.

    Please end the practice of horse soring and in addition the abuse that horse racing places on horses. Horses are tortured in both instances. More regulations are needed to protect the horses. Please act now to end Soring.

    Naturally gaited horses, more than only the Tennessee Walking horse, are amazing to watch. To show them is acceptable. To abuse them to gain a greater gait than is possible is reprehensible.

    Soring cripples a horse and it is horribly painful. This practice needs to stop. trainers beat horses to get up when their feet and legs hurt.
