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.

Federal Candidate Joins Demonstration

by Marie Bennett | Sep 22, 2019 | Air Cargo, Atlas Air, CALEYYC, Calgary International Airport, Canadian Election 2019, Canadian Horse Defence Coalition, Canadians Against Live Export Calgary, Canadians Against Live Export YYC, CHDC, Conservatives, Demonstration, Event, Green Party, Horse meat, Horse meat human consumption, Horse Slaughter, Horses slaughtered for meat, Inhumane Transport, Liberal, Make your vote count, NDP, Protest, YYC

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.

YOU can have a say in the questions that are asked of Canadian Federal Election Candidates during the upcoming televised debate, but hurry the deadline is fast approaching.

https://cbcnews.ca/debate

Scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the form. If enough of us ask for the Candidates’ views on the slaughter of horses within Canada for human consumption, and the inhumane transport of horses to Japan and South Korea to be slaughtered… Imagine the increased awareness we can create.

When you scroll down on the link above there is a space on the form for TWO questions…

EXAMPLE: Feel free to copy and paste.

I would like to know how each of the leaders feel about 2 related issues, first the slaughter of horses within Canada for human consumption within Canada and the export of that meat to other markets.

Second, how do each of the leaders feel about the inhumane shipping of horses by air to Japan and South Korea to be slaughtered there for human consumption?

NOTE: The online submission form closed September 22nd, 2019 BUT you can still ask any of the candidates questions, see #2 below.
