FEDERAL CHARGES LAID AGAINST CAROLYLE FARMS

FEDERAL CHARGES LAID AGAINST BUSINESS THAT SHIPS HORSES FROM CANADA TO JAPAN FOR SLAUGHTER

BELOW you will find a 2 minute video that includes a shipper freely admitting that regulations limiting the length of time horses can be in transport without food, water or veterinary care was recently broken  – perhaps with  permission of the CFIA – the federal agency charged with protecting the safety of livestock being transported within and out of Canada.

Well, thanks to Animal Justice Canada that shipper is facing federal charges.

Animal Justice has successfully laid a federal charge against a Manitoba horse export business – CAROLYLE FARMS, Swan River, Manitoba, Canada.

The charge?

Failing to have a contingency plan after a shipment of live horses from Canada destined for slaughter in Japan for human consumption, exceeded the 28-hour time limit allowed by national and international regulations governing the transport of horses.

At least 3 horses collapsed during the gruelling flight mentioned in the CBC piece. 2-minute video from the broadcast archived above.

Multiple horses are crammed in crates designed for one horse and are not fed or watered during their time in transport.

How horses are shipped to slaughter in no way resembles how show, pet or race or other sport horses are transported.

CBC’s The National carried the story of a recent shipment with Mr. Lyle Lumax admitting he knew as did the CFIA before the flight — that the horses were going to exceed the travel time allowed by both national and International regulations.

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, when being shipped by air 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 above.

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.

Cruel exports
Horses from Winnipeg sent abroad for slaughter

By: Janine LeGal
Posted: 2:00 AM CDT Saturday, Mar. 18, 2023

Horses have forever been admired, featured prominently in popular children’s books and television programs, noted for being sleek, majestic, poetry in motion. But they also have a high level of emotional intelligence. A University of Sussex study found that horses can read emotional cues from our facial expressions, not only recognizing human emotions, but also deeply absorbing them.

LITTLE RED BARN

Colleen goes on to share some of her personal experiences and how valuable horses in the care of the Little Red Barn have been to those lucky enough to spend time with them.

Further on in the article…

Some of the facts about the slaughter of horses in Canada for human consumption are well expressed – as well as an overview of the export of horses to Japan (and other markets) for slaughter for the same purpose.

It can be jarring then, to know that Canada slaughters roughly 25,000 horses annually and is one of the top exporters of horse meat in the world, with an annual revenue of roughly $80 million.

Canada’s horse exportation industry ships from 3,000-5,000 horses annually. (Canada has exported more than 40,000 draft horses since 2013.)

Draft horses bred specifically for exportation are shipped out from Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. This, despite the fact that more than two-thirds of Canadians are against exporting live horses for slaughter, according to Manitoba Animal Save, an animal advocacy organization. The Liberal Party committed to banning the practice in its September 2021 election campaign but, as of yet, nothing has changed.

WINNIPEG FREE PRESS

For the last 5 years, Danae Tonge of Manitoba Animal Save has witnessed firsthand the loading of horses at the Winnipeg Airport – horses destined for slaughter in Japan (and sometimes Korea).

“They are terrified, subject to turbulence and air pressure changes and some may fall during turbulence or take off, and be trampled by their crate mates, unable to escape. They cannot move around; they cannot lay down.”

Tonge recalls a recent horse shipment from Winnipeg in which travel time had exceeded more than 30 hours. Three horses were found down in their crate upon arrival in Japan. There have been several documented incidents of injured or dead horses on flights from Canada to Japan.
