CANADIAN HORSE SLAUGHTER COMPANY CLOSING MONTANA FEEDLOT
Animals’ Angels USA reports:
“It’s official! Bouvry Exports’ notorious Bar S Feedlot in Shelby, MT, is closed!
The company terminated the MOU [Memorandum of Understanding] [with] the State of Montana on October 7, 2022.
Having documented horrific suffering at this lot since 2008, this development means a lot to our investigators. It also shows that we have every reason to be hopeful that the horse slaughter industry in the US will continue to decline.
However, our work is not done yet. We have to continue to push for legislation that will ban slaughter and the export of our horses for slaughter for good.
We also have to continue to expose and monitor those who still profit from shipping horses to slaughter. Count us in!”

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.
