IN 2020 APPROXIMATELY 35,000 HEALTHY HORSES FROM THE USA WERE SENT TO CANADA & MEXICO TO BE SLAUGHTERED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
DOWN FROM 60K THE YEAR BEFORE
The government of the United States, has for now defunded inspections of horses at slaughter plants which means for the time being, it is no longer legal to slaughter horses within the United States.
BUT make no mistake about it, healthy wild and domestic American horses are still being slaughtered.
Last year approximately 35,000 American horses were shipped to Canada and Mexico in over crowded, leg breaking trucks without food or water for 2 to 3 days. Horses that include those who are pets.
You can help put an end to this inhumane treatment of horses.
