30 SECOND VIDEO

You probably recognize Kaley Cuoco from the TV series, “The Big Bang Theory“, but did you know she is an avid horsewoman and that in February 2016, she participated in a campaign that contributed to stopping the slaughter of horses for human consumption within the United States? [Watch the video BELOW.]

American horses are still routinely shipped to either Mexico or Canada for slaughter, so there is still work to be done.

2023 UPDATE:  For the time the inspection of horses being slaughtered in the USA is still not being funded by the US government.  However, thousands of horses are still routinely shipped from the USA to Canada and Mexico for slaughter.

The horses exported from the USA to Canada and Mexico include pet horses, race horses, rodeo stock, and sport horses — horses of all types and all ages.

Horses are hauled in leg-breaking trailers for up to 3 days at a time without food, water or vet care and in extreme cold and heat.

Recently a push – AKA the SAFE ACT –  to stop the export of horses from the USA to Canada and Mexico for slaughter failed but the act got further through the political system/process than previous attempts and rumour has it that as early as May of 2023 another version of the SAFE ACT may be launched.

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.
