Special thanks to Sarah Stewart and Patti Lippert for making us aware of this story.

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.

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, including pets, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including  Japan.

The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT  horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.

In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan,  to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.
