'Canada's current animal transport laws are still inadequate.'
Canada is one of the only countries in the world that breeds, raises and transports horses overseas to be slaughtered for human consumption.The animal care group has launched another petition asking the federal government to put an end to the horse meat industry in Canada.
Known as "meat buyers" or "kill buyers," Marchand said they will bid on horses no one else is bidding on. "Canada recently updated their transport laws, which previously allowed horses to be transported for 36 hours at a time," said BC SPCA’s Melissa Speirs, manager of farm animal welfare. "With such close quarters, horses can easily injure one another or lose their balance and be unable to get back up," Speirs said.
