Thanks to Karin Nelson for sharing the following – it only takes a few seconds to send a message to Edmonton International Airport.
“Here is a link if you would like to send the Edmonton International Airport [an email] and ask that they stop being complicit in shipping live horses to Japan for slaughter.
Please share with other groups and individuals.”

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.
