If you know how Horse Heroes Alberta started, you’ll know who Molly is. For 3 agonizing months, she was searched for. TV, radio and newspaper ran her story across Canada. Christmas eve, 2018, Molly was released in a local field. She went on to have a happy, healthy filly named Moxie. Because of her, the doors were opened and a new group – Horse Heroes Alberta – was formed. People came from far and wide to show support. Molly’s story is amazing and shows how humans CAN come together to be a change.

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.

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.”
