CANADA’S DARK LITTLE SECRET
CANADA’S DARK
LITTLE SECRET
While our horses are perishing, the horse export business in Canada is thriving. In the dark yet under our noses, live healthy horses are being shipped and slaughtered. In horrific conditions, loaded into the bellies of planes, these horses endure hours of trembling in their own fear, headed toward their demise.
The horse meat business in Canada operates on the down low. Kill pens are hidden and shipping activity carries on clandestinely during the night to intentionally keep the public in the dark. Horses from countries that have banned such exports are accepted by Canadian businesses through back door policies. Others are collected through auctions and various shady methods of acquisition. We now know that live export of horses for human consumption has become a standard practice under the guise of “farming”.
One must wonder why we do not see representation of these “businesses” in mainstream advertising. Because we know it’s wrong. They do too.
They deserve so much better than this. Horses have shaped this country. They have carried us on their backs and plowed our fields. Like dogs and cats, they are our companions. We don’t need to treat them this way.

Fight the Flight.
In 2012, a small group of Canadians began pushing back against this sinister business that remains a heinous secret kept from most Canadians. The Canadian Horse Defence Coalition (CHDC) now comprises a growing list of people who refuse to be silenced by the monster power structures surrounding the horse meat industry.
This mini mighty team remains vigilant and dedicated in their efforts to drag this issue from the shadows out into the light. Progress is steadily being made. But there’s a long way to go.
Please join us in expressing our gratitude to these heroes. We invite you to get involved. If you can feel it, it can be. To learn more please visit the CHDC website.
