Petition to ban the live shipping of Canadian horses overseas for slaughter
The British Columbia SPCA, Canada
Canadian Citizens Only Can Sign
UPDATE & VIDEO
“It has been over a year since the federal Minister of Agriculture was given the mandate to end the live export of horses for slaughter.”
Thousands of live horses are exported each year from Canadian cities (Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg) to Japan, where they are slaughtered for a luxury item, raw horsemeat basashi.
It has been over a year since the federal Minister of Agriculture was given the mandate to end the live export of horses for slaughter. Approximately 2,000 horses have been transported since this announcement, while Canadians wait for action from the federal government.
Despite the overwhelming numbers of Canadians who signed the 2021 e-petition during the last session of the government, the election was called before an official response. A new petition e-4190 launched on November 9, 2022, is renewing calls for action, and it has already been signed by thousands of Canadians.
Even if you signed the previous e-petition, you are encouraged to sign this latest version. The petition system will let you know via email if you already signed, so you can still attempt.
