Horses

We must not betray their trust. © istockphoto

There is no humane way to slaughter horses for food and most Canadians are horrified to find out that all kinds of horses—former show horses, race horses, lesson ponies, even wild horses and heavily pregnant mares—meet this fate. After these horses are killed, their flesh is shipped to Europe and Asia for human consumption. Their owners are often unaware of the pain, fear, and suffering their horses endure before being slaughtered. HSI Canada works to protect horses and other equines in our society from abuse, neglect, and an inhumane end in a slaughterhouse.
