Ban the Shaving of 90% of Tail Hair from the Draught Horse Breed.
- 560 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 561 - 2 added in the past 24hrs)
It is common practice among those who show heavy horses to shave/clip up to 90% of a horse's tail, thinking it shows off the horses' hindquarters to better advantage. We think it is cruel and unnecessary to deprive a horse of its natural tail, and want this archaic practice to be banned.

I would like the Government to ban the use of aversive tools such as electric shock collars, prong collars and invisible fencing due to the possible physical and mental harm caused to animals. I believe trauma and cruelty is unacceptable. Legislation on this topic has still not been enacted.
