You can say, "As your constituent, I urge you to cosponsor the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act (H.R. 1684) if you haven't yet and please do all that you can to get it enacted quickly." Contact by phone or email to your State Rep or Senator: --As a constituent, I am contacting to urge you to cosponsor the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act (H.R. 1684) and do all you can to get this vital legislation enacted quickly, with no weakening amendments, to end the cruel "soring" of Tennessee walking horses and related breeds. A recent undercover investigation provided stark evidence of ongoing soring and tactics to evade getting caught among those who win top prizes and get honored as leaders in the Tennessee Walking Horse show world. No horse should be made to suffer for a blue ribbon. Soring involves the intentional infliction of pain on a horse's legs and hooves to force the horse to perform an exaggerated, high-stepping gait known as the "Big Lick" that is rewarded in some show rings. Unscrupulous trainers use caustic chemicals that burn the horse's flesh, chains, and heavy, stacked horseshoes to cheat and win prizes. They cut the hooves down to the delicate tissue and jam in hard or sharp objects to make the pain even more excruciating whenever the horse puts weight on his or her front legs. They use electric shock and other gruesome methods to teach the horse not to flinch during inspection. The PAST Act (H.R. 1684) would amend the Horse Protection Act of 1970 to end the failed system of industry self-policing, ban the use of devices integral to soring, strengthen penalties and make other reforms necessary to finally end this torture.
