Boycott “Big Lick” TN Walking Classes – 2021 North Carolina Horse Show – Asheville, NC
The Issue
Please SIGN and SHARE this Petition to STOP “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty to beautiful Tennessee Walking Horses. "WE, The People" - Citizens Campaign Against "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty (CCABLAC) calls for a BOYCOTT of three day "Big Lick" Horse Show.
Asheville, North Carolina, is a progessive beautiful city located in Western North Carolina. It is known for gentle tolerance, enlightenment and kindness. Unfortunately, Asheville is hosting the three day “Big Lick” North Carolina Championship Walking Horse Show, Oct. 7 - 9. Sadly, the horse show will feature “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses.
Tennessee Walking Horses are TORTURED from an early age to learn how to do the “Big Lick”. It is a pain induced gait. The horses throw their legs high while wearing Chains and SIX – EIGHT POUND stack shoes. Caustic chemicals are applied to sensitive skin above the horses hooves, and then wrapped with plastic to “cook in” the chemicals which causes the skin to be blistered.
When the CHAINS hit the skin, the horses throw their front legs high while squatting down on their back legs – creating the cruel “Big Lick”. “Big Lick” TWH are the only horses in America which wear Chains in the show ring. And they are shown as TWO YEAR OLDS.
According to Tennessean and Noted Equine Vet Dr. John Haffner, the "Big Lick" is a "business built on the suffering and pain of horses". Dr. Haffner is a member of the Horse Science Faculty at MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University) in Murfreesboro, TN.
Even worse, the horse show will be held at the McGough Arena at the Western North Carolina Agriculture Center which is owned by the State of North Carolina.
U. S. CONGRESS VOTES AGAINST “BIG LICK” ANIMAL CRUELTY
On July 25, 2019, the United States House of Representatives in an historic bipartisan landslide vote – 333 to 96 – voted to abolish the “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty. It could not get a vote in the U. S. Senate due to a filibuster blocking it.
NORTH CAROLINA DOES NOT WANT THIS ANIMAL CRUELTY
A majority of the North Carolina Congressional delegation bipartisan voted – 7 to 4 – to pass the H.R. 693 – “Tydings Memorial PAST ACT” - to END the “Big Lick”. North Carolina Republican Congressman Ted Budd (R-NC) was one of the floor managers for the bill.
ASHEVILLE “BIG LICK” HORSE SHOW HIRES “HORSE SORER” TO JUDGE THREE DAY SHOW – OCT. 7-9, 2021
The world was shocked to learn that the Asheville “Big Lick” Horse Show has hired Mr. Chris “ZIPTIE” Zahnd to Judge three day Asheville “Big Lick” Horse Show.
Mr. Chris Zahnd pled guilty to "Horse Soring", and was sentenced in U. S. District Court (Nashville) for placing a “nerve cord” (zip tie) in a Tennessee Walking Horse's mouth along the upper gum line. The “nerve cord” causes the horse to be distracted, and not react to digital palpation by a USDA Vet Inspector to detect pain (soreness) in his front feet which causes the “high stepping” show gait.
HERE’S WHAT SORING DOES TO HORSES - 16+ MILLION VIEWS
This shocking video - "Here's What Soring Does To Horses" - exposes the “Big Lick” Tennessee Walking Horse Racket as ANIMAL CRUELTY. The video which feaures “Gen’s Ice Glimmer”, America’s Tennessee Walking Horse, has been viewed over 16+ MILLION (16,500,000) times. “Soring” is the illegal and cruel practice of using chemical and mechanical methods to create pain in a gaited show horses front feet to exaggerate their animated step."
