SHELBYVILLE, TN (AP) -
The Humane Society of the United States is
launching a hotline and reward for people to call in tips about abuse of
Tennessee walking horses and the group is advertising the hotline on a
billboard outside the breed's national show in Shelbyville next week.
The Horse Protection Act
prevents a form of abuse called soring, a practice of using chemicals
and chains to train horses to perform high-stepping gaits for shows and
competitions.
The society said in a news
release they are offering a reward of up to $10,000 to anyone who
provides information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
The group said their number
and the reward are posted on a billboard installed near the venue where
the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration starts on Aug. 22
