Equestrian Canada warns that due to income losses associated with Covid-19 many horses in Canada could be in jeopardy of being disposed of.

Disposal methods include horse auctions where many horses often end up in the hands of “meat” AKA “kill” buyers who sell horses to slaughter plants in Canada to be killed for human consumption. Kill buyers also buy directly from owners

CHEK news reported on a story involving the rescue of 31 ponies that were destined to be sold at an auction in Alberta but instead money has been raised to save and re-home these ponies.

Rebecca Sanesh of Humanity for Horses Rescue and Rehab spearheaded this rescue and addtitional funds will be needed for feeding and veterinarian care. PLUS Humanity for Horses has other equines in constant need of care.
