Help the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition win a ground breaking lawsuit to stop the inhumane transport of horses by air to be slaughtered in Japan and South Korea, for human consumption.
Every year, Canada ships thousands of horses overseas by air cargo so that they can be slaughtered for human consumption.
In 2017 public records show that 4,846 horses were shipped to Japan for this purpose.
In 2018 just shy of 9,000 horses were shipped from Canada to Japan to be slaughtered for human consumption.
These horses are NOT shipped the way that show horses are shipped, instead they are crammed in wooden crates that are too small and shipped 3 and 4 to a crate, that is actually meant to hold just one horse.
Canadian and international shipping regulations are being broken.
Please help support this ground breaking lawsuit.

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES 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.

Horses are Slaughtered in Canada for Human Consumption?
I hate to admit this but until 2010 I had no idea that horses were regularly slaughtered for human consumption. Seriously, I thought I must be hearing things. People eat horse meat? People send their horses to auction, their pets, their companions, without setting a...
