There was no complete ban in place to begin with.
It was a promise by the former prime minister. Like election reforms.
I really hope Mark Carney government does reverse the ban on horse exports for slaughter.
Alberta has a lot of all organic, free range, cruelty free, grass-fed, free grazing horses running around feral and the government has to pay to keep their population in check. Crate them up and ship them for people who wish to eat all natural lean animal protein.
That's a better use of resources than shooting them and letting them go to waste. Instead of banning it just because it hurts the feelings of a few horse-people.
Feral horses aren’t organic or grass fed as their diet is not controlled. Exporting feral horses is very cruel, the stress of transport and long distance shipping on a feral prey animal is brutal and the places we ship them to have weaker standards for humane slaughter. It would be better to just treat them as game and hunt them here.
Okay, lets hunt them here. As well as catch them, take em to an abattoir and export the meat as well as sell it within Canada.
What about farmed horses? Can we get the ban lifted on exporting those?
You sure love throwing incorrect adjectives like "organic" at things, don't you?
I do. It just started one morning organically. It wasn't always like that...
Totally, lets torture and kill more animals! This is definitely the best use of our time and energy! 🥳
People gotta eat.
