Das Problem

In today's world, where humanity prides itself on progress and compassion, it seems incongruous that the barbaric practices of the horse meat industry still persist, particularly in nations often revered for their modernity and advancements in human and animal rights. Countries like Canada, the United States, Japan, Austria, and Germany continue to support the inhumane and cruel exploitation of horses for their meat, including wild horses, ex-race and sport horses, and unwanted pet horses. It is distressing to know that these magnificent creatures, who have served humanity loyally and tirelessly, are subjected to such dreadful ends.

Horses in the meat industry endure unimaginable suffering. They are transported over vast distances by road, rail,  air or sea, packed tightly with little or no regard for their well-being. The journey is nothing short of a living nightmare, a grueling and terrifying ordeal that ends in a brutal death. Austria, for instance, is notorious for its horse breeding stables, where foals are often slaughtered immediately, a practice ironically supported by the state. In the 21st century, these actions should be regarded as relics of a bygone Middle Ages.

Equally abhorrent is the treatment of donkeys and mules. These gentle creatures face mass slaughter, and like horses, are subjected to long-distance transportation that causes immense distress. Additionally, the so-called 'horse pipelines' used to transport these animals are frequently exploited for unspeakable activities, further highlighting the need for stringent regulations and immediate intervention.

We implore you to raise your voice against these cruel practices. It is time to bring about a change that reflects our society’s core values: respect, empathy, and dignity for all living beings. Every step counts, every voice matters. Together, we can exert enough public pressure to end the horror these animals face. Let's ensure that no horse, donkey, or mule has to endure a miserable, short life or an appalling death journey after faithfully serving humanity.

Join us in this fight to outlaw the horse meat industry and the international transport of horses destined for slaughter. Sign this petition to protect our equine companions from unnecessary suffering and to put an end to the ruthless practices that belong in the past, not in our present or future.
