Section 1822. Congressional statement of findings
The Congress finds and declares that -
(1) the soring of horses is cruel and inhumane;
(2) horses shown or exhibited which are sore, where such
soreness improves the performance of such horse, compete unfairly
with horses which are not sore;
(3) the movement, showing, exhibition, or sale of sore horses
in intrastate commerce adversely affects and burdens interstate
and foreign commerce;
(4) all horses which are subject to regulation under this
chapter are either in interstate or foreign commerce or
substantially affect such commerce; and
(5) regulation under this chapter by the Secretary is
appropriate to prevent and eliminate burdens upon commerce and to
effectively regulate commerce.
