This is a Two Year Old Class with young horses wearing EIGHT POUND shoes being shown with CHAINS on their front feet. https://www.facebook.com/DodoImpact/videos/1602145449802542/ The “Here’s What ‘Soring’ Does To Horses” video has been viewed almost 11.50 MILLION times. The “Big Lick” Multi-Millionaires do NOT want the public to see these videos. The videos are defeating the “Big Lick”! They motivate the public to BOYCOTT the Horse Shows which feature “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty. The next night (June 3, 2016), Maury County Sheriff Bucky Rowland told CCABLAC animal welfare advocates to TURN OFF YOUR VIDEO CAMERAS. On August 23, 2026, a CCABLAC animal welfare advocate filed a suit in Federal Court in Nashville against Maury County (TN) Sheriff Bucky Rowland, and unnamed JOHN DOE DEFENDANTS, who may have been behind an attempt to deprive American citizens of their constitutional right to take videos in public parks and put them on the internet for the World to see the “Big Lick” Animal Cruelty. Here is a news accounts of the First Amendment lawsuit which appears in The Daily Herald newspaper of Columbia, TN: http://www.columbiadailyherald.com/news/20161211/james-bennett-column-sheriff-rowland-responds-to-lawsuit-in-first-amendment-flap CCABLAC Animal Welfare Advocate Clant M. Seay “ …. our Constitution is sacred. No one is above the law. It was a chilling and shocking experience to have Sheriff Rowland to come down and tell citizens to turn off their video cameras in a public park. After considerable deliberation, I filed this lawsuit. It alleges Sheriff Rowland’s wrong doing, and this lawsuit will be tried in the courtroom, not the newspaper.” Seay said he wonders whether Rowland was in a conspiracy with show organizers to keep his group from videotaping inside the Spring Jubilee. Seay and other protesters bought tickets and took their cameras inside, hoping to document what happens to Tennessee Walking Horses before and during events. “I don’t know if there was a conspiracy behind what Sheriff Rowland did on June 3, 2016, but I can tell you that we are going to do everything possible and necessary to find out if there was one,” Seay said. “There are powerful, wealthy politically connected people who are addicted to ‘Big Lick’ animal cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses. They see nothing wrong with it, and they do not want citizens taking and posting videos of ‘Big Lick’ Tennessee Walking horses in the show ring because the public then condemns it.” ----------------------------------------------------- The Big Lick is a phase attached to the gait of Walking Horses. Animal welfare advocates allege some trainers torture their horses with an illegal tactic called soring, applying harsh chemicals to horses’ legs and hooves. The higher the horse’s gait, the more it impresses judges. “Many of the ‘Big Lick’ horses in these videos are struggling and in apparent distress.” Seay said. “One recent video captured the 2016 World Grand Champion Tennessee Walking Horse, ‘Honors,’ pathetically struggling to canter while being exhibited in Asheville, N.C.,” Seay said. A member of Seay’s group had a run-in with a horseman during a July 2015 at Maury County Park. Trainer Jamie Lawrence of Vinemont, Ala., was convicted of assaulting 58-year-old protester Teresa Bippen by a jury Feb. 3. Lawrence turned his truck toward protesters, feigning as though he was going to run them over, as he entered Maury County Park. On March 23/24, FOUR Legal Depositions were taken of persons with knowledge in Franklin, TN, by CCABLAC in an effort to get to the bottom of WHO was behind what Sheriff Bucky Rowland did on June 3, 2016. We now need $8,000.00 to take care of these pending Deposition expenses. They include: location rental; Video Court Reporter and Stenographer Court Reporter; Video copies and transcripts; Paralegal assistance; Legal Research; Subpoena service and witness fees and mileage; and miscellaneous costs. So far we have raised $2,200.00, and we have $5,800.00 to go.
