Lions Clubs International needs to sever all ties with “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty perpetrated upon Tennessee Walking Horses, and forbid any Lions Club anywhere from having anything whatsoever to do with “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty horse shows which are akin to dog fighting and cock fighting.   
 
U. S. CONGRESS VOTES AGAINST “BIG LICK” ANIMAL CRUELTY
 
On July 25, 2019,  members of the United States House of Representatives officially declared the “Big Lick” as Animal Cruelty when it made an historic bipartisan landslide roll call vote – 333 to 96 – to abolish “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses.   The only two large animal veterinarians in Congress sponsored the bill.   A majority of  both Democrats and Republicans voted for it.   And Tennessee Republican Congressman Tim Burchett (R-TN), who represents Knoxville, TN,  and the University of Tennessee,  voted to forever end the “Big Lick”.
 
WOODBURY (TN) LIONS CLUB HIRES “HORSE SORER” TO JUDGE WOODBURY LIONS CLUB HORSE SHOW - JULY 3, 2021
 
The world was shocked this week to learn that the Woodbury (TN) Lions Club has hired Mr. Chris Zahnd to Judge its 85th annual Woodbury Lions Club Horse Show on Saturday, July 3, 2021,  which will feature more than 24 “Big Lick” classes.

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.
 
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."

According to native Tennessean MTSU (Middle Tennessee State University) Horse Science Professor equine vet Dr. John Haffner,  “the ‘Big Lick’ is a pain induced gait – a business built on the suffering and pain of horses.”  All "Big Lick" TWH are "sore" to learn the "Big Lick" gait. 
 
The Lions Club International motto is:   “Together We Serve:   Service is more than the sum of our collective deeds – it is the wellspring of our heart.  As Lions and Leos,  we serve to see our communities inspired, equipped and transformed.  We believe even the greatest challenges can be overcome with the power of kindness".

There is no kindness associated with "Big Lick" Animal Cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses, and the Lions Clubs International needs to sever all ties with it. 
 
And NO charitable donation is worth animal cruelty. 
 
This was illustrated when the University of Mississippi Medical Center which severed all ties with the Jackson (MS) “Big Lick” Horse Show which was making an annual $50,000.00 charitable donation to its Blair Batson Childrens Hospital.

The Citizens Campaign Against “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty (CCABLAC)  is a “WE, The People” grassroots movement founded in Mississippi.  CCABLAC advocates (primarily Southerners) have peacefully assembled and protested against Animal Cruelty to “Big Lick” Tennessee Walking Horses from the Gulf of Mexico at Panama City Beach, FL;  to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC; thoughout Tennessee and all the way to the White House in Washington, D.C. where over 100,000+ signatures against the “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty were delivered.   In 2019,  CCABLAC led the effort to obtain a bipartisan vote in the U. S. House of Representatives – 333 to 96 - to abolish the “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty forever.
