She takes on only those cases that advance the interests of animals. She was counsel in the first few cases to successfully save “dangerous” dogs in BC since the law changed in 2019.

She is counsel for the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition, which is appealing to the Federal Court of Appeal in a ground-breaking case, where for the first time, an animal protection group has sued the government over the transportation of animals in Canada.

She was counsel in the first pet custody case in Canada that recognized jurisdiction to allow shared custody of a companion animal.

She is counsel for clients whose dogs were shot by police, in cases which may impact the duties police officers owe to people and their dogs.

She is counsel for a client whose dog was electrocuted while out for a walk on city property, a case which may impact the monetary damages that may be awarded for loss of a pet.

She continues to be heavily involved in the animal protection community in her spare time, including working behind the scenes with a city councillor for making amendments to “aggressive dog” bylaws in Vancouver, being a member of local groups for the protection of animals and making various presentations to city councils for the protection of bears, trees and companion animals.

She was on the board of the Vancouver Humane Society for over 10 years.

She has given over a dozen animal law lectures internationally and nationally. She has been featured in media on various topical animal law issues and had previously appeared in a documentary on the captivity of cetaceans.

She also continues to spend a significant amount of time monthly to mentor students interested in animal law.

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.

Thank you Jann Arden

Once again we’d like to thank Jann Arden for all she does to help support the banning of horse slaughter for human consumption.

American horses are routinely exported to Mexico and to Canada to be slaughtered.

Horses raised in Canada, including pet horses and discarded race horses, are slaughtered in Canada and horses are also shipped live from Canada to Japan to be slaughtered there.

The Canadian Horse Defence Coaltion is currently suing the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for blatantly ignorning international shipping regulations and allowing horses to be shipped in conditions that are inhumane.

You can save horses’ lives with one of these T-shirts @ban.horse.slaughter help stop beautiful horses from being shipped overseas for human consumption. It’s awful…

Covid 19 Causing Horse Owners Challenges and Scam Warning

Covid 19 Causing Horse Owners Challenges and Scam Warning

I believe that we can all relate to how some may be facing financial hardships during this global pandemic, including horse owners and those who run, for example riding stables and horse rescues.

CBC has featured several articles in the past month including…

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/riding-schools-equine-therapy-centres-struggling-amid-closures-1.5545072

Link above includes a 46 second video…

“Since horses aren’t considered livestock, equine-focused businesses aren’t eligible for many of the government incentives that farmers or other businesses are, said Katrina Merkies, an associate professor at the University of Guelph who specializes in equine behaviour and welfare.

Not being able to afford to care for horses, Merkies said, could lead to them being sold to another industry.

“There’s a whole slaughter industry that is out there for horse meat,” she said. “And it would be a very sad thing to see a lot of horses entering that pipeline.”

NEWSDAY:

More horses potentially at risk of being sold for slaughter

Flynn, who is buying fewer horses due to the pandemic, said she worries that as the crisis continues, more horses could potentially be sold for possible slaughter overseas.

Striano said she has similar concerns, worried that barns that depend on riding lessons for income may be forced to scale down on horses, which would put older equines at risk of being sold.

“The older senior horses that are not making as much money for them will be gone,” Striano said. “That’s where we’ve stepped in. You keep a rider safe on your back for 15 years and your reward is to go to slaughter? In my book that’s not right.”

PAGE 6: THE HAMPTONS – NEW YORK

Why hundreds of Hamptons horses could be headed for the slaughterhouse

“Horses that usually appear in the Hampton Classic could be headed for the slaughterhouse because of the pandemic, insiders fear.”

“A top trainer and a stable-owner tell Page Six that at this time of year city dwellers are usually heading out to the Hamptons, where they lease so-called “school horses” or “schoolies” for their kids for the horse show season that culminates in the famed Bridgehampton show.

THERE IS GOOD NEWS AS WELL

There are programs being developed to help those in need including:

THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP

As AE Dyer writes on Facebook…

Write to your governments!

Local … town, county, province, feds!

They take all sorts of tax money from these businesses!

They  [horse owners and riding stables] employ people!  They buy “stuff”!  They provide recreation services!

These are businesses where you do not just turn off the tap!  Horses are companion animals!

Maclean’s: Canada is Go-To of Horse Meat

“These activists are trying to change that.

The Canadian Horse Defence Coalition is waging a court battle to end Canada’s role as an exporter of live horses and frozen horsemeat for human consumption.”

Marie writes:

Thank you Canadian Horse Defence Coalition for all you do to help so many!

AND thank you to Maclean’s Canada for running this article to help raise awareness.

Canadians of courrse recognize Maclean’s magazine but for those reading from outside of Canada, this is a nationally recognized publication that was founded in 1905, and reports on Canadian issues such as politics, pop culture, and current events.

Mann had read the Canadian animal-health regulations which require horses over 14 hands high to be shipped solo in containers large enough to allow them to stand in a natural posture.

But she had routinely observed groups of three or four large horses being loaded into one crate with ceilings so low their ears poked through the top.

“There was no way they had enough room,” she says.

She condensed her footage into a three-minute YouTube video and in 2012 gave it to Sinikka Crosland at the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition, an animal rights group lobbying to stop the slaughter of horses.

Here, thought Crosland, was the perfect opportunity to raise awareness for their cause.

This Shirt Saves Horses’ Lives

UPDTE NOVEMBER 2021:  

Back for the first time since JUNE of 2020. Once again available for a limited time.

Proceeds from this t-shirt go to helping our friends at Horse Rescue Fund.

Horse Rescue Fund is dedicated to raising funds and distributing those funds to equine rescues and sanctuaries in Canada and the United States that are registered charities — or not.

Horse Rescue Fund also recognizes the need, especially during these turbulent times, to help  individuals who are trying to do the right thing, but struggling to care for their equines.

There are many cases where what might end with a beloved horse being sent to slaughter, euthanized, sold or relinquished can be prevented by a gift of funds.

Horse Rescue Fund  strives to raise awareness about the necessity of education on all aspects of equine ownership.

Through education Horse Rescue Fund believes that the number of horses being slaughtered for human consumption, and the number of other horses in need, will diminish.

Horse Rescue Fund also supports efforts to save (evacuate, vet,  stable and feed) equines during and after natural disasters such as forest fires, flooding, mudslides, etc.

Look closely and you’ll notice that actress Kate Drummond is wearing a  limited edition T-shirt.  (Sorry it’s sold out BUT click the button below for another very special t-shirt.)

Proceeds from the sales of this T-shirt go towards banning the slaughter of  horses within Canada and beyond. 

Kate posts…  “I’m just a girl, sitting in the middle of racks of couture, asking one of them to be the perfect dress 😉💕🙏 Thank you Jordan Stewart for the delicious afternoon of dress up, friendship-building and laughs. I am so excited to wear your masterpiece at the CSAs this month. 🔥
