BAN HORSE SLAUGHTER

It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption, but you can help us ban horse slaughter in Canada and beyond.

Some of the meat is consumed in Canada, and much of it is shipped to the European Union, and other markets, including China and Japan.

This barbaric practice is currently not legal in the United States, so horses 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 to Japan for slaughter, is far from humane.
