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.
