Tell Ag Committee to Support Bill to Ban Horse Exports for Slaughter

Every year, thousands of Canadian horses are tightly packed into wooden crates so they can be flown to Japan to be slaughtered and eaten as a raw delicacy. Horses are denied food, water, rest, and adequate space on long, gruelling flights. This causes the animals significant distress and puts them at risk of being injured, collapsing, and even dying in transit.

But hope is on the horizon: Bill C-355 is working its way through the legislative process, and aims to outlaw the practice once and for all.

Take action now! Tell MPs in the Agriculture Committee to support legislation to end the export of live horses for slaughter overseas and ensure a ban is passed as soon as possible.
