Special thanks to Sarah Stewart and Patti Lippert for making us aware of this story.

Equestrian Canada warns that due to income losses associated with Covid-19 many horses in Canada could be in jeopardy of being disposed of.

Disposal methods include horse auctions where many horses often end up in the hands of “meat” AKA “kill” buyers who sell horses to slaughter plants in Canada to be killed for human consumption.  Kill buyers also buy directly from owners

CHEK news reported on a story involving the rescue of 31 ponies that were destined to be sold at an auction in Alberta but instead money has been raised to save and re-home these ponies.

Rebecca Sanesh of Humanity for Horses Rescue and Rehab spearheaded this rescue and addtitional funds will be needed for feeding and veterinarian care.  PLUS Humanity for Horses has other equines in constant need of care.

Learn more about the story, watch a short video at CHEK NEWS here.

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.

As you follow along with Canadian Horse Defence Coalition and their mission to ban horse slaughter for human consumption, you will notice that Rebeka Breder is the lawyer who is handling a lawsuit appeal on behalf of CHDC against the Canadian Government.

(CHDC is suing the Canadian Government for blatantly breaking international shipping regulations and their inhumane treatment of horses.)

P.S.  We know it sounds complicated but it really isn’t.

2021 VOTING IS OPEN!

Over the last 15 years, Rebeka Breder developed a unique practice in animal law, and founded the first law firm in Western Canada to exclusively focus on animal law.

She takes on only those cases that advance the interests of animals. She was counsel in the first few cases to successfully save “dangerous” dogs in BC since the law changed in 2019.

She is counsel for the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition, which is appealing to the Federal Court of Appeal in a ground-breaking case, where for the first time, an animal protection group has sued the government over the transportation of animals in Canada.

She was counsel in the first pet custody case in Canada that recognized jurisdiction to allow shared custody of a companion animal.

She is counsel for clients whose dogs were shot by police, in cases which may impact the duties police officers owe to people and their dogs.

She is counsel for a client whose dog was electrocuted while out for a walk on city property, a case which may impact the monetary damages that may be awarded for loss of a pet.

She continues to be heavily involved in the animal protection community in her spare time, including working behind the scenes with a city councillor for making amendments to “aggressive dog” bylaws in Vancouver, being a member of local groups for the protection of animals and making various presentations to city councils for the protection of bears, trees and companion animals.

She was on the board of the Vancouver Humane Society for over 10 years.

She has given over a dozen animal law lectures internationally and nationally. She has been featured in media on various topical animal law issues and had previously appeared in a documentary on the captivity of cetaceans.

She also continues to spend a significant amount of time monthly to mentor students interested in animal law.

Once again we’d like to thank Jann Arden for all she does to help support the banning of horse slaughter for human consumption.

American horses are routinely exported to Mexico and to Canada to be slaughtered.

Horses raised in Canada, including pet horses and discarded race horses, are slaughtered in Canada and horses are also shipped live from Canada to Japan to be slaughtered there.

The Canadian Horse Defence Coaltion is currently suing the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for blatantly ignorning international shipping regulations and allowing horses to be shipped in conditions that are inhumane.

Covid 19 Causing Horse Owners Challenges and Scam Warning

Covid 19 Causing Horse Owners Challenges and Scam Warning

by | Apr 27, 2020 | Covid 19, Horse Slaughter, NetPosse, Stolen and sold for meat, Stolen Horses slaughtered

I believe that we can all relate to how some may be facing financial hardships during this global pandemic, including horse owners and those who run, for example riding stables and horse rescues.

CBC has featured several articles in the past month including…

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/riding-schools-equine-therapy-centres-struggling-amid-closures-1.5545072

Link above includes a 46 second video…

“Since horses aren’t considered livestock, equine-focused businesses aren’t eligible for many of the government incentives that farmers or other businesses are, said Katrina Merkies, an associate professor at the University of Guelph who specializes in equine behaviour and welfare.

Not being able to afford to care for horses, Merkies said, could lead to them being sold to another industry.

“There’s a whole slaughter industry that is out there for horse meat,” she said. “And it would be a very sad thing to see a lot of horses entering that pipeline.”

Other news agencies are covering this as well…

TORONTO STAR:  Thousands of Canadian horses and riding businesses at risk as collateral damage of COVID-19 pandemic

NEWSDAY:

More horses potentially at risk of being sold for slaughter

Flynn, who is buying fewer horses due to the pandemic, said she worries that as the crisis continues, more horses could potentially be sold for possible slaughter overseas.

Striano said she has similar concerns, worried that barns that depend on riding lessons for income may be forced to scale down on horses, which would put older equines at risk of being sold.

“The older senior horses that are not making as much money for them will be gone,” Striano said. “That’s where we’ve stepped in. You keep a rider safe on your back for 15 years and your reward is to go to slaughter? In my book that’s not right.”

PAGE 6: THE HAMPTONS – NEW YORK

Why hundreds of Hamptons horses could be headed for the slaughterhouse

“Horses that usually appear in the Hampton Classic could be headed for the slaughterhouse because of the pandemic, insiders fear.”

“A top trainer and a stable-owner tell Page Six that at this time of year city dwellers are usually heading out to the Hamptons, where they lease so-called “school horses” or “schoolies” for their kids for the horse show season that culminates in the famed Bridgehampton show.

THERE IS GOOD NEWS AS WELL

There are programs being developed to help those in need including:

THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP

As AE Dyer writes on Facebook…

Write to your governments!

Local … town, county, province, feds!

They take all sorts of tax money from these businesses!

They  [horse owners and riding stables] employ people!  They buy “stuff”!  They provide recreation services!

These are businesses where you do not just turn off the tap!  Horses are companion animals!

“Your life changed in a drastic unexpected way. You can no longer take care of your horse.

You are heartbroken but know you have to find another “forever” home for your horse and have a tough decision to make.

All of the horses in the video above were thought to have gone to their wonderful new homes.

Now no one knows where they are or what happened to them.
