People are surprised to learn that horses are being slaughtered in Canada [for human consumption], and perhaps even worse, they are being exported, by air, in crammed conditions, to Japan to be slaughtered for meat. Horses that may have been someone’s pet

The Canadian Horse Defence Coalition recevied notice that a decision in the ground breaking lawsuit filed against the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has been announced.

Unfortunately the judge decided in favour of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

The Canadian Horse Defence Coalition launched this lawsuit because of evidence that the Health of Animals Regulations (HAR) were being broken, when horses are transported to Japan, by air, to be slaughtered there for human consumption.

The case was heard over the last two days of October 2019 and for horse lovers across Canada, the evidence was clear. Canadian and International shipping laws are being broken.

Unfortunately the judge decided that the Health of Animals Regulations (HAR), are not the responsiblity of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, but are the responsiblity of those exporting horses, and of the owners of the horses being exported.

The Canadian Horse Defence Coalition is considering an appeal of Mr. Justice Keith Boswell’s decision. Further details to be announced ASAP.

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.
