THANK YOU WINNIPEG HUMANE SOCIETY
A very special thank you to The Winnipeg Humane Society for launching a billboard campaign to stop live horse exportation from Canada to other markets for slaughter.
Two billboards are now located on Pembina Highway and Portage Avenue in Winnipeg, Manitoba to raise awareness of this inhumane practice.
Manitobans and other Canadians are urged to sign a member of parliament sponsored petition to support this cause, and to write The Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food (Canada) along with your Member of Parliament.

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.
