STOP the cruel and inhumane slaughter of horses in canada

Banned in the United States, but a growing industry in both Mexico and Canada, this practice MUST be stopped.

First and foremost, it is horrifically cruel to the horses. I am not including videos because frankly I can't stomach them but google or go on youtube and you will note that it is highly questionable whether the Canadian Food Inspection Agency really monitors the industry in order to ensure protocols are followed.

If the absolute reality of the cruelty isn't enough of an issue, there are major health concerns as well.   Because horses are not typically raised as food meat - a banned chemical called phenylbutazone (short form, "bute") can often be found in their systems. This cheimical is toxic to human  beings.

Our horses deserve a better end than a horrific, terrifying and physically sadistic end to lives spent serving human beings.
