GRAPHIC VIDEOS FROM BOUVRY FEEDLOT
Yes, both of the following videos are hard to watch, but if nothing else please consider playing the longer one and listening to the voice-over without watching the video.
With very special thanks to Animal Welfare Foundation | Tierschutzbund Zurich for all their work on both of these videos — and for everything they have done for so many horses around the world.
Tens of thousands of horses are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.
The Bouvry slaughter plant is located in Alberta and the same family owns a horse slaughter plant in Quebec.
Some of the meat is consumed in Canada, and much of it is shipped to the European Union, and other markets, including China and Japan.
This barbaric practice is currently not legal 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 slaughter, is far from humane.
Most of the following footage was shot at the Bouvry Slaughter Plant in Alberta, Canada.
Today, June 28th, 2023 the plant is NOT currently slaughtering horses but another plant in Quebec – owned by the same family is.
UPDATE: There was a very short window in 2023 where horse slaughter stopped for a few weeks at the Bouvry plant in Fort Macleod, Alberta. BUT it wasn’t long before the slaughter of horses started again. You can find what’s happened since and more history about Bouvry Exports LTD here.
