The good news is that the number of horses exported to Canada for slaughter is continuously shrinking, decreasing from 6,919 horses in 2020 to 5,139 horses in 2021, a 25% reduction in just one year.

The bad news is that the fate of the thousands of US horses who are still unfortunate enough to get caught in the slaughter pipeline remains grim. 4,429 of the 5,139 US horses shipped through the Bouvry Export feedlot in Shelby, Montana, which acts as the main hub for all U.S. horses purchased for slaughter in Canada.
The ugly reality is that Bouvry still has an armada of suppliers in ten states which ensures a steady supply of horses. Animals’ Angels has confirmed through recent investigations that a collection of long-term kill buyers are still faithfully delivering horses to the Bouvry feedlot. The kill buyers on this list include:
o Ole Olson, Nevada
o Max Palmer, Idaho
o Chuck Walker, Washington
o Keith Tongen, Minnesota
o Curt Anderson, Montana
o Jack Paluso, Oregon
Perhaps the most disturbing development comes from the Warm Springs area in Oregon, where suppliers shipped 161 Mustangs to the Shelby lot. Many of these poor horses were under two years old.
