UNDER COVER VIDEO AT AUSTRALIAN SLAUGHTERHOUSE

2 minute video marie bennett ban horse slaughter

Undercover investigations in Australia show the horrendous animal welfare conditions in the EU-approved Meramist slaughterhouse.

This video is graphic, but it’s only 2 minutes and important to share to help raise awareness.

As Canadian icon, Jann Arden recently tweeted,

“If we always turn away from difficult things – especially when it comes to animal cruely – they will never change. The abusers are COUNTING on your apathy.”

I really don’t know what else to say except that those I have shared this video with privately have wept, and at the same time been more motivated than ever to continue working towards ending horse slaughter, not only in Canada – but beyond.

The in-depth overview of the slaughter industry in Australia – above – is hard at times to watch. As Canadians and Americans watch it we can well imagine that many of the same scenarios are happening at our Canadian slaughterhouses and in Mexico.

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.
