STANDING COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE AND AGRI-FOOD

FEB. 29, 2024:

Director of Legal Advocacy, Animal Justice Canada, lawyer, tireless advocate AKA superhero Kaitlyn Mitchell spoke before the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-food on Bill C-355.

To say we were pleased to see her on the list would be the understatement of the century.

Ms. Mitchell came prepared and we cheered as she presented.

Kaitlyn from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your hours of preparation, for your attention to detail and the grace with which you handled the questions and objections from those in favour of continuing the barbaric practice of shipping horses from Canada to their deaths in Japan – or elsewhere.  Thank you for defending Bill C-355.

Thank you for being you and far all you do for so many!

Below:

Ms. Mitchell fields questions from Conservative MP Lianne Rood - who along with every other Conservative MP who voted, voted AGAINST Bill C-355 moving forward to committee.  By the sounds of it MP Rood is still opposed to Bill C-355.

The brief mentioned in video, jointly submitted by Canadian veterinarians who may not all be practicing equine veterinarians but that doesn't mean that their opinion in the matter of animal welfare is not valuable.  [OPEN the BRIEF HERE.]

BILL C-355 BACKGROUND…

You may not be aware but  in addition to allowing the slaughter of horses within Canada for human consumption — Canada allows for the live transport of horses to other countries for the purpose of slaughter.

Make no mistake about it, the way in which horses destined to be slaughtered are transported, in no way shape or form resembles the great care, shown to pet or show or sport horses – including racehorses.

Horses destined for slaughter are crammed in crates, often 3 or even 4 in crates designed for one horse – but don’t take our word for it – watch the full CTV W5 report here or a shorter 2 minute video below.

We are 100% volunteer & crowdfunded.
0% goes towards salaries. Yes, ZERO.

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.
