The founders of Ban Horse Slaughter sit on a variety of not-for-profit boards and with our experience and your help…

We are determined to once and for all stop the needless, barbaric slaughter of horses (or any other equine) within Canada – including those imported from the USA — and to stop the inhumane export of horses from Canada to Japan — or any other market — for slaughter.

Equestrian Canada wants YOUR feedback…

Thank you Debby Murtagh of Canadian Horse Defence Coalition for bringing this to my attention.  

The deadline to email your thoughts is November 4th, 2019.  Please take 2 seconds to send an email right now.

If you have been following along you are likely aware that Canada allows for the slaughter of horses within Canada.  Horses are routinely slaughtered for human consumption, some of the meat is sold within Canada and much of it is shipped to other markets including the European Union.  Yes really.

You may also be aware that horses are shipped live to Japan and South Korea to be slaughtered (and eaten) there, and that the conditions they endure are inhumane.

If you’ve been following along you are likely aware that the slaughter houses in Canada take the word of any one selling an equine to them, that they are the rightful owner.  There are not any checks and balances in place, as a result…

You are also likely aware that horses are often slaughtered the same day they are sold to a slaughter house which means that in some cases stolen horses have been butchered for meat before the owner even knows their horses are missing.

There is NOT currently any kind of recognized equine identification system in place within Canada BUT Equine Canada is looking at the possibility of changing that — and they want to hear from you.

Do you want to see a nationwide Equine Identification System in place?

If so PLEASE send them an email and let them know you support their proposal.

This tracking system would cover not only registered/pedigreed horses but also horses of unknown backgrounds.

You can send an email here…

khouse@equestrian.ca

It literally takes 2 seconds to state that you oppose horse slaughter and that you  support the implementation of a Nationwide Equine Identification System.

You can read an outline of their proposed system by clicking here.

The full outline of the proposed Equine Identification System is here.

Please remember there is a deadline in place but it only takes a few seconds to send an email stating you are opposed to horse slaughter and  in favour of an Equine Identification System.

Federal Candidate Joins Demonstration

Federal Candidate Joins Demonstration

Thanks to Canadians Against Live Export – YYC for organizing this event, and thank you NDP Candidate Patrick King for listening to Lisa Pitts of Canadian Horse Defence Coalition and attending the demonstration.

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

Canadian and international shipping regulations are being broken.

Horses are air shipped from Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg, Canada, to Japan and South Korea.

In 2018 over 7,000 horses were air shipped from Canada to Japan for slaughter for human consumption.

The actual number for 2018 is just shy of 9,000.

Make no mistake about it, horses destined to be slaughtered in Japan and South Korea for human consumption are not transported with the same care and respect that show horses receive.

American Wild Horses slaughtered for human consumption

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.”
