MARCH AGAINST HORSE SLAUGHTER — By far the largest producer of horse meat in the world is China, which slaughtered 1,598,600 head in 2013*, yielding a total of 191,832 tonnes of horse meat or 422, 917,166 lb. This represents approximately 26% of the global total.
The top 10 horse meat producing countries in the world comprise 77% of the world’s total as shown in Table 2 and the bar chart below.

Again, China tops the list of countries with the most number of horses slaughtered (1,598,600) representing approximately 34% of the total globally.
The top 10 producing animals/slaughtered by country in the world include about 80% of the world’s total as shown in Table 3 and the accompanying bar chart.

To be continued with horse meat export and import numbers and statistics.
*These are the most recent available numbers produced by the FAO.
The only reason U.S. isn’t in this list is because we ship our horses to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered

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
