Statistics


Statistics from Agriculture Canada reveal that between January and July 2009, 31,140 horses were imported into Canada for slaughter from the US . During all of 2008, 42,319 horses were imported for slaughter. These tragic numbers reveal that US horse imports are on the rise. Interestingly however, statistics for all horses to slaughter in Canada (up to August 2009) are down 17% over 2008. Up to August last year, 72,191 horses met their death in Canadian slaughterhouses. In 2009, the number to the end of August was 60,478. While this number is down marginally, there are still over 1,775 horses going to slaughter every week in Canada !
Petition to MP Barry Devolin


Petition to MP Barry Devolin

On May 20th, supporter Denise Lockhart and CHDC director Shelley Grainger presented a petition that Denise gathered, containing over 400 signatures, to Ontario MP Hon. Barry Devolin of Haliburton - Kawartha Lakes - Brock. Way to go, Denise and Shelley! A follow up meeting on September 24th was successful and additional signatures were presented for a total of 585! Mr. Devolin promised to table the petition in the House of Commons. In addition, he promised to write to Minister of Agriculture, MP Gerry Ritz, concerning poor transportation standards and lack of enforcement of them for slaughter-bound horses, the European Union's April 2009 directive banning horsemeat containing drugs and certain contaminants from third country suppliers, as well as the ongoing issues and concerns around horse slaughter.

We are awaiting Mr. Ritz's reply to Mr. Devolin's October 5th letter. Clearly, more pressure on individual ministers is required if we are to alleviate the suffering of our horses. We would ask that as many supporters as possible start gathering signatures on petitions with the intention of presenting them to your MP. The more signatures that they see, the more the Canadian government must pay attention to this issue. Here is a link to a petition template you can use: http://www.defendhorsescanada.org/pdf/sp070403.pdf The CHDC would be glad to assist in your efforts to gather signatures and present them to your MP. Please feel free to contact us at info@defendhorsescanada.org to get involved.
