YOU CAN HELP BAN THE LIVE EXPORT OF HORSES FROM CANADA TO JAPAN FOR SLAUGHTER
The Citizens of Canada, call upon the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food to halt the live export of horses for slaughter, consistent with the Liberal Party of Canada’s 2021 election campaign commitment and the Minister’s December 16, 2021, mandate letter.
This petition has clout because it is sponsored by a Member of Parliament AND if it receives enough signatures it will be presented/read in Parliament.
Very special thanks to Canadian icon Jann Arden for being relentless in her efforts to ban horse slaughter and stop the inhumane and regulation-breaking transport of horses to Japan to be slaughtered for human consumption there.
Initiated by Jann Arden this petition is sponsored by Alistair MacGregor, Cowichan—Malahat—Langford, New Democratic Party Caucus. British Columbia

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.

Horses are Slaughtered in Canada for Human Consumption?
I hate to admit this but until 2010 I had no idea that horses were regularly slaughtered for human consumption. Seriously, I thought I must be hearing things. People eat horse meat? People send their horses to auction, their pets, their companions, without setting a...
