- Tennessee, USA -
The Pigeon Forge Police Department was alerted to a video uploaded on TikTok which showed a helpless horse who was being whipped while tied up and unable to escape.
The incident happened at Goldrush Stables in Pigeon Forge, Sevier County, and the male seen in the video cruelly whipping the horse is an employee.
Investigators responded to the business to investigate and said that the video was recorded in May of this year.
The employee has been identified as DAVID ALLEN WHALEY and has been arrested for animal cruelty.
The VOICELESS VICTIM was examined and did not appear to have any injuries.
WATE reports that Goldrush Stables issued a statement on social media and said that policies are being implemented to prevent any similar incidents from occurring again.
I wonder whether at Goldrush Stables there is a surveillance system. If the video had not been filmed and uploaded….
