You may remember that Canadian Horse Defence Coalition (CHDC) board member Shelley Grainger was able to secure the sponsorship of M.P. Nathaniel Erskine-Smith for an e-Petition calling for a ban to  the inhumane transport of horses by air, to slaughter.  (It’s now closed).

Well that is NOT the only way that this Liberal Member of Parliament for Beaches East York, Ontario is sympathetic and friendly to animal rights.

Take a moment to read this post to learn more about Nate and what he stands for including when it comes to animal and human rights.  As aways, please feel free to share too.

Dear Candidate,

A Nanos poll conducted in June 2019 revealed that almost 7 out of 10 Canadians would like to see horse slaughter stopped.

As a constituent in the riding, you are hoping to be elected in, I am interested to learn your opinion about the issue of horse slaughter in Canada, as well as the live exports of horses to other countries for slaughter and human consumption.

Kindly take a moment to respond to this brief questionnaire and send me your reply.

Thank you,

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.
