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?
