JANUARY 6, 2025 BOUVRY FINED
A “guilty plea of sorts” today for Bouvry.
Instead of going through with scheduled court dates, Bouvry will pay…
$17,000.00 in fines and surcharges.
Plus a small fortune they would’ve likely dished out for Calgary counsel.
January 6, 2025:
We continue to hear that Bouvry in Fort MacLeod has closed.
That rumour, a misinterpretation of a post by a well known and much respected by us group persists. The main FEEDLOT – which is not adjacent to the plant has been closed for many months now.
The plant continues to slaughter horses almost every week.
We know that the plant has been up for sale, several times we’ve heard that the plant has sold, or that “only one signature was needed for the deal to be done”.
Those rumours have persisted since late 2022, increasing dramatically since the end of 2023.
We do NOT think that the plant has sold and even if it has – horses are being slaughtered – again – weekly.
WHAT WE DO KNOW…
With very special thanks to a lawyer in Alberta who wishes to remain anonymous we do know that Bouvry initially plead not guilty to charges laid against them by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Charges were laid July 17th, 2023 based on activities by Bouvry Exports Calgary, LTD, in 2021.
We describe the charges as animal cruelty and health food safety related.
You can learn more about the charges here.
Thanks to the same lawyer we know that the trial dates were set for January 6 to 17, 2025 in Fort MacLeod, Alberta.
But again – as far as we know – Bouvry appeared today, January 6th and will pay fines and surcharges of $17,000.

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.
