Very special thanks to Member of Parliament Nathaniel Erskine-Smith for hosting Canadian icon, singer songwriter, author and TV star Jann Arden on his podcast “Uncommons“.
Like Jann, Nate is a tireless defender of animal rights and we so appreciate him using his platform to support Jann’s #horseshit campaign in support of the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition and the work that they, and others, are doing to ban the slaughter of horses in Canada and beyond.
You can listen to the podcast here.

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.
