Canadians Against Live Export – YYC is a dedicated group of volunteers who are committed to ending the live shipments of horses from Calgary International Airport, specifically horses destined to be slaughtered for human consumption in So. Korea and Japan.

Make no mistake about it, these horses are not treated with any where near the same respect that horses who are being shipped for competition, for example horses that are being shipped to and from Spruce Meadows in Calgary.

CALEYYC writes:

“We are trying to raise awareness of the plight of draft horses that are exported from Calgary (YYC) to Japan for slaughter. Regulations are frequently broken/ not enforced by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency during these shipments. Suffering is inherent in long distance transport, and YYC [Calgary International Airport] should not be involved in this cruel industry that sends horses half way across the world, crammed into crates without food and water, to be slaughtered on another continent.”
