People need to know these stats……remember…..American horses are in those numbers in the Canada/Mexico stats…….approximately 150,000 year OR 400 each day.

My apologies in Table 3 – that should read Horses Slaughtered (head), not meat produced (tonnes). The numbers are still correct. I will edit and replace shortly. Sorry
