UPDATE: JANN’S ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER – WORKED!

Canadian icon Jann Arden speaks out against the inhumane transport of horses to Japan for human consumption, and lends her voice to the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition.

Many, if not most Canadians may not realize that horses are routinely slaughtered within Canada. Some of the horse meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is exported to the European Union and other markets for human consumption there.

Horses are also inhumanely shipped by air to Japan to be slaughtered for human consumption.

Thankfully the press and others are lending their voice as Jann Arden speaks out.

UPDATE: JANN’S ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER – WORKED!

SEPTEMBER 2021:  The Liberal Party of Canada included the following in their election promises: 

T-SHIRTS IN SUPPORT OF HORSE RESCUE FUND 

LIMITED TIME OFFER FREE SHIPPING CANADA & USA 

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.
