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.
