Natural Valley Farms, later renamed Natural Meat Company, slaughtered over 100,000 Canadian and American horses from 2007-2009. The plant was closed mid-February, 2009 for animal welfare violations, environmental degradation and food safety concerns.

Horse supporters from as far away as Australia and Europe sent memorials, poems, tributes and words of kindness which we delivered to the horses' remains on April 13, 2009.

We were harassed at the rendering pit, and on the gravel road back to Hwy 1, attempted to be run off the road at high speeds (130 km/hr) for over 30 km by 2 men from the plant in a large grey, extended cab truck.

These same men were involved in the senseless and brutal slaughter of horses (see CBC National's expose "No Country for Horses"), including foals as we discovered in February, 2008. Why should they be any kinder to humans?

  • PLZ remember to support new Bill C-322. Horses can be re-used for other puposes, not Recycled or for meat. Toxic meat! No thank-you. These horses are not all checked by CFIA, theres way to many of them going to cruel slaughter. A medication as BUTE can cause cancer and death. So think twice before eating your buddies. BAN Horse-Slaughter in Canada and around the world.

  • @normalguyable im canadian i agree with you

  • All horses with a little bit of effort and work can be recovered.

    If a horse is to be put out of its misery then humane euthanasia at home is the way to go. Slaughter is by no means humane euthanasia. No way, no how.

    Horse meat, where it is eaten, is very expensive, more than beef so starving families couldn't afford it.

  • I under stand your view that horse are a companion animal but there are those horses that cant be broke or that are to old and about to die or injured and cant be cared for so if a person cant take care of them isnt better for the owner and the horse to put the horse out of its misure and feed a starving family some where.

  • @normalguyable please, don't judge all us canadians. we are as sickened about it as you are.

  • canada a nation of murderers!!!! burn in hell you people who sit by and do nothing while these horses are murdered!!!

  • This women is so brave and strong. And i,m so happy this was filmed. X-owners, dumping off their pets, washing their hands and running, away, from it all. How evil, can you get.

  • The only question is WHY would hey take the lives of innocent animals? This is just... Just... Painful(beautiful)

  • I pray that I will live to see a world without horse slaughter. this video really touched my heart.

  • i wish the horses were never killed but all the ones that are being killed now run free in heaven the got what they wanted to run free and i always rember when you ride a horse u dont own it your only baroing it my heart goes out to all the horses killed or going to be
