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.”

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.
