YOU can have a say in the questions that are asked of Canadian Federal Election Candidates during the upcoming televised debate, but hurry the deadline is fast approaching.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the form. If enough of us ask for the Candidates’ views on the slaughter of horses within Canada for human consumption, and the inhumane transport of horses to Japan and South Korea to be slaughtered… Imagine the increased awareness we can create.
When you scroll down on the link above there is a space on the form for TWO questions…
EXAMPLE: Feel free to copy and paste.
I would like to know how each of the leaders feel about 2 related issues, first the slaughter of horses within Canada for human consumption within Canada and the export of that meat to other markets.
Second, how do each of the leaders feel about the inhumane shipping of horses by air to Japan and South Korea to be slaughtered there for human consumption?
NOTE: The online submission form closed September 22nd, 2019 BUT you can still ask any of the candidates questions, see #2 below.

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.
