Thank you, Jann Arden, for your unwavering commitment to advocating for the protection of horses. Your efforts, particularly in helping to ban the live export of horses for slaughter, have made a tremendous difference. (That is an understatement – where would this cause  be without you?)

It’s inspiring to see you continue to use your platform to raise awareness, and your recent features in the press are a testament to the importance of this cause. Your dedication is deeply appreciated!

 We didn't really start out with the idea of fund raising, we started out with the idea to help educate Canadians and others that horse slaughter is alive and well in Canada (and other countries).

We were frustrated that when someone asked us questions about the horse slaughter industry that we didn't have a spot to send them to learn more.

We found ourselves copying and pasting press articles into private messages and onto social media posts, and constantly writing and re-writing - and copying and pasting the same things -- so https://banhorseslaughter.com and the accompanying blog were created.

Our team has years of experience taking in horses, attending to their needs, and carefully re-homing.  Since the inception of this website that work has quietly continued.  

Additionally we've supported and promoted many rescues - and many of the BHS team are responsible for establishing a registered not for profit.

Each organization has a different mission statement.

Here at Ban Horse Slaughter - our main mission is exactly that, to ban the slaughter of horses for any purpose including for human consumption -- within Canada -- and the export of horses for that same purpose -- and you'll notice that we are not shy about locking arms with American advocates.  After all many of the horses slaughtered in Canada are imported from the USA.

We work hard at consistently funding advertising on social media platforms - and continuing on that theme we'd love to fund bill boards.

We believe that if more Canadians were aware about the fact that horse slaughter exists, there would be an even greater uproar and that we can make the slaughtering of horses illegal - like it is in the USA and other countries.

We've been lucky enough to have room to continue to take in and re-home horses - to prevent them from entering the slaughter pipeline - although again that was never meant to be our main focus -- in the last couple of years we've been able to find a handful of experienced, amazing, kind, generous foster homes (in British Columbia and Alberta) to do the same.

When it comes to all of our work, we've been incredibly lucky to have generous and consistent sponsorship from individuals across Canada, the USA, the UK and Australia.  To our supporters -- thank you -- we can't do what we do without support.

Additionally our board members and foster homes have dug deep time and again to continue and expand the work we do - not only with countless hours but with funds.

Thank you to all who have supported, and continue to support.  We hate to ask but we need help to save another 12 horses.
