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.
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.
I’ll be in touch tomorrow to donate to this important cause. How cruel and unnecessary Horse slaughter is. Modern society was built on the back of the working horse- and this is how we repay them. Classy. https://t.co/7MpT62xUHT

Canada should be leading the world when it comes to animal welfare— and yet we drop the ball in so many ways. We ship thousands upon thousands of live horses for the overseas meat trade and grotesquely fail with their treatment. Often in tight cages of three or four- for days.

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.
