American Wild Horses slaughtered for human consumption

Excerpts from an article by Sam Block from https://newfoodeconomy.org

“Equine slaughter has been banned in America for over a decade. But the horse meat trade is still thriving.”

“For decades, BLM has rounded up wild horses and burros, aiming to do it every three to five years. Right now, a round-up is underway in Nevada. Last year, the bureau removed 11,472 wild horses and burros nationwide, more than in the three previous years combined. But its taxpayer-funded corrals and pastures, where horses wait to be sold or adopted, are nearing capacity.

The pressing question is where to put this growing population once existing options are full. Slaughtering horses for food is illegal in the U.S., but a market exists beyond our borders, in Europe, Japan and Russia. This is why brokers called “kill buyers” send trailers full of horses, both wild and domestic, into Mexico and Canada, where slaughter is legal. Last year, 81,573 horses made the trip.

Wild horses are a minority in the disposable horse population, though they have an impact out of proportion to their numbers: They make it more difficult for ranchers to raise the cattle we eat. Once shipped out of the U.S., they are outnumbered at foreign slaughterhouses by privately-owned riding horses or racehorses sold for an array of reasons—too old, too small for a growing rider, too expensive, not fast enough, or excessive in some way that an owner found intolerable.”

You may remember that Canadian Horse Defence Coalition (CHDC) board member Shelley Grainger was able to secure the sponsorship of M.P. Nathaniel Erskine-Smith for an e-Petition calling for a ban to  the inhumane transport of horses by air, to slaughter.  (It’s now closed).

Well that is NOT the only way that this Liberal Member of Parliament for Beaches East York, Ontario is sympathetic and friendly to animal rights.

Take a moment to read this post to learn more about Nate and what he stands for including when it comes to animal and human rights.  As aways, please feel free to share too.

EVENT Calgary: Canadians Against Live Export

EVENT Calgary: Canadians Against Live Export

by | 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
