CANADIAN ICON JANN ARDEN GAINS MORE PRESS
Thank you, Jann Arden, for your unwavering commitment to advocating for the protection of horses.
Your efforts, particularly in helping to ban the live export of horses for slaughter, have made a tremendous difference.
(That is an understatement - where would this cause be without you?)
It's inspiring to see you continue to use your platform to raise awareness, and your recent features in the press are a testament to the importance of this cause.
Your dedication is deeply appreciated!
NOT ALL HORSES ARE PURPOSE BRED
FOR SHIPMENT TO SLAUGHTER
BILL C-355 IS 'DEAD' SO HERE WE GO AGAIN...
UPDATED APRIL 2025
Even though not a single member of the Conservative Party was willing to vote in favour of Bill C-355 -- and every step of the way Conservatives fought to block Bill C-355 - designed to ban the export of horses for slaughter...
The Liberal Party persisted and Bill C-355 passed through Parliament - it was taken out of the hands of the Prime Minister Trudeau and Members of Parliament and it was put into the hands of Canadian Senators BUT...
UPDATE: Once a Federal election was called for April of 2025 the bill automatically came to an end in Senate.
So we start again... please keep reading.
SOCIAL MEDIA WRONGLY BLAMING PM TRUDEAU
Recently on social media, we’ve noticed some advocates blaming Prime Minister Trudeau for the ongoing export of horses from Canada to Japan and other markets for the purpose of slaughter.
We are thankful that Prime Minister Trudeau and other Liberal MPs including MP Leah Taylor-Roy brought forward Bill C-355 – a bill to ban the export of horses by air for the purpose of slaughter. (BILL C-355 DETAILS HERE.)
Actually, that’s an understatement. We can not adequately express our thanks to all who were instrumental in bringing the bill forward and all who advocated for it. For example Jann Arden & EVERY single Liberal MP including PM Trudeau – every last one voted in favour of the bill to ban the export of horses for slaughter passing.
We are far less impressed with Conservatives who fought tooth and nail for this bill to NOT pass and who unanimously voted against it passing.
Yes, really, you can check the voting stats here.
Despite the fight Conservatives put up the Bill is now in the hands of the Senate and will be discussed further and voted on this fall.
In the meantime, what can we each do?
Reach out to Senators, if you are a Canadian citizen, every Senator represents you. SCROLL DOWN for a CALL TO ACTION.
You have the right to speak up and demand that they pay attention to what YOU want.
