THE WASHINGTON – ANN TELNAES

JUNE 6, 2015

I think the illustration says it all but Ann Telnaes also writes: 

The Belmont Stakes is being held today and most of the attention is focused on whether or not American Pharoah, the winner of both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, can become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978.

But what should be in the media spotlight is the harsh reality of horse racing and the abuses horses suffer in this sport.

Horses are started under saddle too early, sometimes at one and a half years old, which results in injury and early break-downs.

They are drugged so they can continue to run even when injured.

The sad outcome of many of these horses is their racing days are cut short and they end up discarded years before the end of their natural lives.

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.
