Nebraska Close To Banning Horse Tripping
Edited Press Release

Nebraska legislatures have passed LB 764, a bill that would, in part, ban the practice of horse tripping. The Humane Society of the United States is urging the Governor to sign this bill into law.

"We thank Senator Cornett for spearheading legislation to ban these cruel practices," said Keith Dane, The HSUS' director of equine protection. "Horse tripping encourages an insensitivity to and acceptance of the inhumane treatment of animals in the name of sport. We are thrilled to see Nebraska doing away with these practices."

Horse tripping consists of intentionally tripping, lassoing or roping the legs of a horse, or causing a horse to fall for the purposes of entertainment, sport, practice or contest.
