Why can't they market the meat in Canada ?
Horses BTW are not the same as cows, they are much more highly
strung and suffer from stress etc just like humans !!

Young horses are killed for meat here.
There is overproduction and much wastage in the bloodstock industry . These end up as pet foods .
I am a life long horse lover and except they are meat too but it’s the way animals are slaughtered that is so bad .
No animal and cows are sensitive intelligent animals too -should be put through the trauma of travel and the sometimes terrible end that awaits ie the live meat trade to the Middle East it doesn t bear thinking about .
I don’t know how humane slaughter houses are in Japan I am afraid that my perception of Japanese sensibility to animals is based on their gross inhumanity to humans in the past.
I hope I am wrong but doubt it .
The USA also exports many horses to Japan for the same reasons - wastage in the racing industry but even winners can end up their too . Ferdinand who won the Kentucky Derby was sold to Japan for breeding but later when he was of no further use was slaughtered for meat .
The horror of these poor trusting animals who have been treated well in their lives ending it so badly is terrible .
