A POWERFUL INFORMATIVE SEGMENT
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!
BILL C-355 IN THE HANDS OF CANADIAN SENATORS
Even though not a single member of the Conservative Party was willing to vote in favour of Bill C-355 -- and every step of the way Conservatives fought to block Bill C-355 - designed to ban the export of horses for slaughter...
The Liberal Party persisted and Bill C-355 has now passed through Parliament - it is out of the hands of the Prime Minister and Members of Parliament and it is in the hands of Canadian Senators.
Would you, could you, take a few minutes this holiday season to send 11 individual emails to the Senators who serve on the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry?
(OR FILL OUT A 30 SECOND FORM LETTER?)
After watching hours of presentations in the Senate, reading and re-reading transcripts we know those opposing the bill AND those in favour of the bill are assuming it will go to Committee after the break for the holidays. So we need to make noise – NOW.

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.
