CBC wants to know…

by Marie Bennett | Sep 11, 2019 | Canadian Election 2019, CBC, CHDC, Conservatives, Green Party, Horse meat, Horse meat human consumption, Horse Slaughter, Horses slaughtered for meat, Inhumane Transport, Liberal, NDP

YOU can have a say in the questions that are asked of Canadian Federal Election Candidates during the upcoming televised debate, but hurry the deadline is fast approaching.

https://cbcnews.ca/debate

Scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the form. If enough of us ask for the Candidates’ views on the slaughter of horses within Canada for human consumption, and the inhumane transport of horses to Japan and South Korea to be slaughtered… Imagine the increased awareness we can create.

When you scroll down on the link above there is a space on the form for TWO questions…

EXAMPLE: Feel free to copy and paste.

I would like to know how each of the leaders feel about 2 related issues, first the slaughter of horses within Canada for human consumption within Canada and the export of that meat to other markets.

Second, how do each of the leaders feel about the inhumane shipping of horses by air to Japan and South Korea to be slaughtered there for human consumption?

NOTE: The online submission form closed September 22nd, 2019 BUT you can still ask any of the candidates questions, see #2 below.

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.

It’s heartbreaking to see horses at the Bouvry S

It’s heartbreaking to see horses at the Bouvry Slaughter Plant in Fort Macleod, Alberta again today. 💔 Tears are flowing.

Rumors suggested that horse slaughter would end with the plant changing hands, but it appears reliable sources who told us it was decided the practice is too lucrative to stop - were right.

Indiscriminate breeding means horses of all ages, sizes, and breeds end up on slaughter trucks. Great horses, young and old, fit, sound, untrained, and trained, are not spared.

Recently on social media, we’ve noticed some advocates blaming @justinpjtrudeau for the ongoing export of #horses from #Canada to #Japan and other markets for the purpose of slaughter.

We are thankful that Prime Minister Trudeau and other Liberal MPs including @leah_taylor_roy who brought forward Bill C-355 - a bill to ban the export of horses by air for the purpose of slaughter.

Actually, that’s an understatement. We can not adequately express our thanks to all who were instrumental in bringing the bill forward and all who advocated for it - including @jannarden & EVERY single Liberal MP - every last one voted in favour of the bill passing.

We are far less impressed with Conservatives who fought tooth and nail for this bill to NOT pass and who unanimously voted against it passing.

Despite the fight Conservatives put up the Bill is now in the hands of the Senate and will be discussed further and voted on this fall.

In the meantime, what can we each do?
Reach out to Senators, if you are a Canadian citizen, every Senator represents you.

You have the right to speak up and demand that they pay attention to what YOU want.

Australia’s iconic wild heritage #horses, including foals, are currently being gunned down from helicopters in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Yes, BABY HORSES are being slaughtered.

The NSW government, Parks NSW, and the Invasive Species Council (ISC) have launched a PR campaign portraying the slaughter of #Brumbies as necessary and humane. They are painting advocates for Brumbies as a “fragmented fringe group of extremist nutters” yet…

Experts disagree with the government’s population estimates, questioning the drastic measures.

YOUR support is urgently needed to halt this inhumane cull and demand non-lethal alternatives.

But please hurry because this barbaric slaughtering of Brumbies is set to escalate at an even more staggering pace on April 4th.

On a regular basis we get asked how is it possible

On a regular basis we get asked how is it possible that anyone would be okay with transporting #horses by air from #Canada to be slaughtered in #Japan for human consumption.

You may be surprised to learn that according to an issue of Ontario Farmer Magazine:

“Kevin Wilson’s diversified farming operation at Vankleek Hill [Ontario, Canada] facilitates the majority of these exports.”

——————

You may also be surprised to know that an article on TheReview.ca states:

“According to Kevin Wilson, the farm (owned by he and his father) has around 300 Percheron draught horses, mostly being raised in Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri.

Out of those 300, 11 geldings are used for shows across Canada and the United States.

Many of the horses are raised for purchase by Amish farmers in the Midwestern US.”

—————————

Yes, they compete with horses. Pictures featured in the article on TheReview.ca show Percheron horses with beautifully braided manes and tails wearing fancy polished harnesses, pulling wagons and carts.

—————————

It’s important to note that the article from Ontario Farmer simply states he “facilitates” the export of horses.

There is no mention in either article on our blog post (see the link in our bio @ban.horse.slaughter) that he or his family business ship their own horses.

==========

The article from Ontario Farmer does state this:

“Thinly sliced horse meat, called basashi, is a sought after product in Japan and is a great export market, adding value to farmers for Canada’s surplus horses, he [Kevin Wilson] said.”

The Bouvry Slaughter plant in #FortMacleod #albert

The Bouvry Slaughter plant in #FortMacleod #alberta #Canada slaughtered #horses yet again on February 15, 2024.

For many months now Thursdays have been horse slaughter days.

Rumours are spreading that the plant has stopped slaughtering horses but so far that is NOT the case.

It’s important to remember that IF the plant does indeed sell, new owners could pick up the practice and even if they don’t, the slaughter of horses for any purpose including human consumption is still legal in Canada.

AND there is another plant in #Quebec that slaughters for human consumption.

Again, to be clear - horses WERE SLAUGERED at the #Bouvry slaughter plant ON THURSDAY February 15, 2024.

Thank you to all who care!

EVENT Calgary: Canadians Against Live Export

by Marie Bennett | Sep 10, 2019 | Air Cargo, Atlas Air, CALEYYC, Calgary International Airport, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Canadians Against Live Export Calgary, Canadians Against Live Export YYC, CFIA, Demonstration, Event, Horse meat, Horse meat human consumption, Horse Slaughter, Horses slaughtered for meat, Inhumane Transport, Japan, Protest, South Korea, Spruce Meadows, YYC

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.”

You can learn more about this amazing group on their Facebook Page (including how you can participate in upcoming events, rallies and pickets) at: https://www.facebook.com/CALEYYC/?eid=ARCGRvGxU9eMYTDA5di9eqpMOZs1aPA1VRUiLSgsGO_Spqe4LhZOyoc1UuEkjhazkZf06pjZFXXwiTQ8

Kaley Cuoco – Big Bang Theory

by Marie Bennett | Aug 28, 2019 | Big Bang Theory, FAQs, Horse Rescue, Horse Slaughter, Horses slaughtered for meat, Inhumane Transport, Kaley Cuoco, Noelle Floyd, Spruce Meadows, The Humane Society of the United States, Video

30 SECOND VIDEO

You probably recognize Kaley Cuoco from the TV series, “The Big Bang Theory“, but did you know she is an avid horsewoman and that in February 2016, she participated in a campaign that contributed to stopping the slaughter of horses for human consumption within the United States? [Watch the video BELOW.]

American horses are still routinely shipped to either Mexico or Canada for slaughter, so there is still work to be done.

2023 UPDATE: For the time the inspection of horses being slaughtered in the USA is still not being funded by the US government. However, thousands of horses are still routinely shipped from the USA to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.

The horses exported from the USA to Canada and Mexico include pet horses, race horses, rodeo stock, and sport horses — horses of all types and all ages.

Horses are hauled in leg-breaking trailers for up to 3 days at a time without food, water or vet care and in extreme cold and heat.

Recently a push – AKA the SAFE ACT – to stop the export of horses from the USA to Canada and Mexico for slaughter failed but the act got further through the political system/process than previous attempts and rumour has it that as early as May of 2023 another version of the SAFE ACT may be launched.

You can learn more about the SAFE ACT here.

Click here for steps you can take right now to help ban the slaughter of horses within Canada and beyond, including the live export of horses to Japan to be slaughtered there.

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.

Rumors suggested that horse slaughter would end with the plant changing hands, but it appears reliable sources who told us it was decided the practice is too lucrative to stop - were right.

Indiscriminate breeding means horses of all ages, sizes, and breeds end up on slaughter trucks. Great horses, young and old, fit, sound, untrained, and trained, are not spared.

Recently on social media, we’ve noticed some advocates blaming @justinpjtrudeau for the ongoing export of #horses from #Canada to #Japan and other markets for the purpose of slaughter.

We are thankful that Prime Minister Trudeau and other Liberal MPs including @leah_taylor_roy who brought forward Bill C-355 - a bill to ban the export of horses by air for the purpose of slaughter.

Actually, that’s an understatement. We can not adequately express our thanks to all who were instrumental in bringing the bill forward and all who advocated for it - including @jannarden & EVERY single Liberal MP - every last one voted in favour of the bill passing.

We are far less impressed with Conservatives who fought tooth and nail for this bill to NOT pass and who unanimously voted against it passing.

Despite the fight Conservatives put up the Bill is now in the hands of the Senate and will be discussed further and voted on this fall.

In the meantime, what can we each do?
Reach out to Senators, if you are a Canadian citizen, every Senator represents you.

You have the right to speak up and demand that they pay attention to what YOU want.

Australia’s iconic wild heritage #horses, includ

Australia’s iconic wild heritage #horses, including foals, are currently being gunned down from helicopters in the Kosciuszko National Park.

Yes, BABY HORSES are being slaughtered.

The NSW government, Parks NSW, and the Invasive Species Council (ISC) have launched a PR campaign portraying the slaughter of #Brumbies as necessary and humane. They are painting advocates for Brumbies as a “fragmented fringe group of extremist nutters” yet…

Experts disagree with the government’s population estimates, questioning the drastic measures.

YOUR support is urgently needed to halt this inhumane cull and demand non-lethal alternatives.

But please hurry because this barbaric slaughtering of Brumbies is set to escalate at an even more staggering pace on April 4th.

On a regular basis we get asked how is it possible

On a regular basis we get asked how is it possible that anyone would be okay with transporting #horses by air from #Canada to be slaughtered in #Japan for human consumption.

You may be surprised to learn that according to an issue of Ontario Farmer Magazine:

“Kevin Wilson’s diversified farming operation at Vankleek Hill [Ontario, Canada] facilitates the majority of these exports.”

——————

You may also be surprised to know that an article on TheReview.ca states:

“According to Kevin Wilson, the farm (owned by he and his father) has around 300 Percheron draught horses, mostly being raised in Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri.

Out of those 300, 11 geldings are used for shows across Canada and the United States.

Many of the horses are raised for purchase by Amish farmers in the Midwestern US.”

—————————

Yes, they compete with horses. Pictures featured in the article on TheReview.ca show Percheron horses with beautifully braided manes and tails wearing fancy polished harnesses, pulling wagons and carts.

—————————

It’s important to note that the article from Ontario Farmer simply states he “facilitates” the export of horses.

There is no mention in either article on our blog post (see the link in our bio @ban.horse.slaughter) that he or his family business ship their own horses.

==========

The article from Ontario Farmer does state this:

“Thinly sliced horse meat, called basashi, is a sought after product in Japan and is a great export market, adding value to farmers for Canada’s surplus horses, he [Kevin Wilson] said.”

The Bouvry Slaughter plant in #FortMacleod #albert

The Bouvry Slaughter plant in #FortMacleod #alberta #Canada slaughtered #horses yet again on February 15, 2024.

For many months now Thursdays have been horse slaughter days.

Rumours are spreading that the plant has stopped slaughtering horses but so far that is NOT the case.

It’s important to remember that IF the plant does indeed sell, new owners could pick up the practice and even if they don’t, the slaughter of horses for any purpose including human consumption is still legal in Canada.

AND there is another plant in #Quebec that slaughters for human consumption.

Again, to be clear - horses WERE SLAUGERED at the #Bouvry slaughter plant ON THURSDAY February 15, 2024.

Thank you to all who care!

Time is running out.

Rarely, have #horse advocates come this far in facilitating the banning of any aspect of #horseslaughter.

PLEASE take 2 minutes, click on the link in the bio @ban.horser.slaughter <==

OR visit https://banhorseslaughter.com

AND send a quick 2 line email to your Member of Parliament - right now. Even if you have before, please do so again.

We are NOT there yet.

There are many steps to this process but a critical one is now just days away.

TODAY is important, especially for those who may not want to speak with anyone about slaughter, because today is Sunday and when you call your MP on a Sunday - you will go straight to voicemail.

You don’t have to speak with anyone, just please leave a message...

We’ve outlined EXACTLY what to say on our site.

Seriously, it’s easy, peasy and can be read.

NOTE: This is not a request to sign a petition - this is far more powerful than that.

AND we have outlined how to very quickly find the contact information for your MP.

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.

Tens of thousands of horses, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption, but you can help us ban horse slaughter in Canada and beyond.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada, and much of it is shipped to the European Union, and other markets, including Japan.

This barbaric practice is currently banned in the United States, so horses 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 to Japan for saughter, is far from humane.
