We thought that when the liberals promised to ban horse exports for slaughter there would be changes - in December 2021 Jessica Scott-Reid wrote in the Winnipeg Free Press: “The Liberals made an important commitment to ban the live export of horses for slaughter,” says Mitchell. “Now is the time to act on that promise, to ensure Canada stops this abhorrent practice once and for all. Any delay in making good on this promise will doom even more horses.” (https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/analysis/time-for-liberals-to-deliver-on-horse-export-promise-575921162.html

And yet, in February 2022 the planes are still taking horses on their long journey to death - and horses are still being slaughtered here in Canada. 

For many people in Canada, a horse is much like a dog - a friend, a companion. If you wouldn't treat a dog this way - how can we allow people to treat horses so cruelly? There are other end of life options.
