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

Make YOUR vote count

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.

American Wild Horses slaughtered for human consumption

by Marie Bennett | Sep 19, 2019 | Ban Horse Slaughter, BLM, Bureau of Land Management, Canada Day, FAQs, Horse meat, Horse meat human consumption, Horse Slaughter, Horses slaughtered for meat, Inhumane Transport, Japan, South Korea, Wild Horses

Picture: Bureau of Land Management Oregon

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.”
