The Senate Guru organizes each post by putting the state's name and following it with information. I have copied the information concerning the Big Lick horse here. For the full blog post, click here.
Kentucky: OK, this is pretty grotesque. New documents obtained by the Kentucky print media evidence that Mitch McConnell has backed the Tennessee Walking Horse Industry in pressuring the USDA to lay off of oversight of the Horse Protection Act so that horse trainers can deliberately inflict cruel physical treatment upon the horses so that they simply step higher. In other words, Mitch McConnell is trying to get the U.S. Government to tacitly permit industry-wide cruelty to animals. Oh, and, I'm sure coincidentally, "the industry gave McConnell tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations and hired his Senate chief of staff, Niels Holch, as its Washington lobbyist and attorney." Mitch McConnell is a sick degenerate who will prostitute his political influence for a few bucks. He does not deserve another six-year term as a U.S. Senator. A six-year term he does deserve is one spent behind bars rather than C-SPAN cameras.
"Today, Tennessee Walking Horses are known throughout the industry
as the breed that shows abused and tortured horses."

you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men."

Is Mitch McConnell related to either Jackie or Jimmy McConnell? Jackie McConnell has USDA Horse Protection Act violations on record. I'm not sure if Jimmy does or not, but he's also a "big player" in the Bick Lick Tennessee Walking Horse industry...
That's a really good question, dawn. I will have to do some research and find out. Thanks for the head's up!
dawn, I just found out they're not related. Guess McConnell is just a common last name for bad guys! :)
