We’ve surpassed 5,000 signatures and are on our way to 10,000. Still, we have no response from Atlas Air. Since our last update, at least 300 more horses have been shipped to Japan where they will be fattened up close to the point of laminitis, after which they will be slaughtered. Visualize if you will, how large the stall is in the average horse barn, built for the average-sized riding horse… Some are 10 x 10, others are 10 x 12, and so on. We are told that the crate size designed to contain THREE DRAFT HORSES is approximately 9.5ft by 7ft floor space by 7.6ft high. If you think that’s outrageous, imagine cramming FOUR DRAFT HORSES into the same space - a space already smaller than the average horse stall. This is what is happening on shipments from Calgary, Canada to Japan. Loading three or four 1,500 – 1,700 lb horses in a 66.5 square foot crate does not meet the IATA international standards or Canada’s agreed-upon national standards. This is overcrowding and not compliant with the Health of Animals Regulations. Please continue to share as it is critical that the petition continues to advance. Thank You.
