CTV W5 INVESTIGATIVE REPORT
CTV W5 is the most-watched documentary program in Canada and those of us advocating for horses are thrilled that they chose to highlight the inhumane transport of horses to Japan to be slaughtered for human consumption.
A GLIMPSE INSIDE THE ‘SINISTER’ HORSE MEAT INDUSTRY
CTV NATIONAL NEWS WITH LISA LAFLAMME
THE VIDEO EVIDENCE IS CLEAR
Videos taken at Canadian and Japanese airports show many horses in these crates don’t have sufficient head clearance, with their heads touching the roofs and ears protruding through the crates, contravening IATA regulations;
Flights can be very long averaging 10.5 to 13.5 hours long.
Additional hours must be considered for ground transportation, loading into crates, and loading and unloading crates from planes.
During this time, not only are horses crammed into crates that are too small, horses have no access to food or water.
It takes less than 5 minutes to contact your Member of Parliament and demand this barbaric and inhumane practice be stopped.
Special thanks to Canadian Horse Defence Coalition, Jann Arden, Dr. Judith Samson-French, Dr. Maureen Harper, Kate Drummond, Rebeka Breder, MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Karin Nelson & Winnipeg Humane Society for continually raising awareness about horse slaughter for human consumption in Canada & beyond.
